Hoover's coverage by Adam Anderson

Overview

Bolloré makes paper, but it's no paper tiger. The company operates mainly in the transportation and logistics, manufacturing (plastic films and specialty papers), and fuel distribution businesses. Its largest segment, transportation and logistics, includes freight forwarding services and port operations. (As a freight forwarder, the company buys transportation capacity from carriers and resells it to customers.) Bolloré offers logistics services worldwide but focuses on trade between Europe and Africa, where the company is a leading port operator. Financière de l'Odet, a holding company whose principal shareholder is Bolloré chairman Vincent Bolloré, owns a controlling stake in the company.
