Global freight forwarding and overseas logistics network with 85+ offices
CLASQUIN operates a multinational freight forwarding business across 85 offices with ~1,600 employees, competing on service quality and customization rather than scale. The tech stack is dominated by CargoWise (their freight management system) paired with enterprise infrastructure (Workday, ServiceNow, Azure) — a mature setup for a logistics-heavy operation. Active hiring across sales, ops, and logistics roles (61 open, 36 in last 30 days) combined with projects around CSM strategy, Africa trade lanes, and customs compliance suggests they are consolidating regional operations and pushing into growth markets while addressing persistent margin pressure.

CLASQUIN is a French multinational freight forwarder and overseas logistics provider, founded in 1864 and now a public company. The business serves mid-market and enterprise shippers needing end-to-end supply chain solutions—customs clearance, transport design, and subcontractor coordination. With offices spanning Asia, the Americas, and Europe, CLASQUIN operates as a network-based model that positions itself between the scale of larger global 3PLs and the service responsiveness of regional players. The company has sustained double-digit annual growth for over 35 years and operates across multiple trade lanes, with recent strategic focus on Africa expansion.
CLASQUIN's primary platform is CargoWise One / CargoWise, a dedicated freight forwarding system. Supporting infrastructure includes Workday (ERP/HR), Kyriba (treasury), ServiceNow (ITSM), and Microsoft 365 / Azure Entra ID for core enterprise services.
CLASQUIN is actively hiring and expanding in Asia (China, India), Middle East (UAE), Africa (implied by sales strategy projects), and Europe (Germany, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, France). Africa trade lanes are noted as a specific growth priority.
