Message from the President

It is with great pride that I continue the story of our family group, founded by my parents, Fabien Buhler and Sylvie Gozard, in 1985. Leading this company is both a demanding task, given the international trade industry is constantly impacted by a particularly volatile global geopolitical landscape, and a deeply rewarding one. The experience passed down from my parents, which I have been building on for nearly 25 years as head of the company, along with analytical skills, flexibility, and rigor—all essential in this business—are my daily allies.

While remaining loyal to our clients, some of whom we have been working with for several decades, we are also committed to diversifying in our field of expertise, industry, as well as expanding into new markets, seeking new partners, and adapting to changes in international trade. Forty years in business is a significant milestone, one that our teams in France and abroad enhance daily with their energy, resilience, and commitment.

May this successful story continue!
