STEF operates a 25,000-person logistics footprint across 305 platforms in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK, serving agrifood, distribution, foodservice, and seafood supply chains. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (S/4HANA, ECC, SuccessFactors, BW) with enterprise tools (Salesforce, TMS, ADP), indicating a traditionally structured operational backbone typical of large asset-heavy logistics. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward logistics (40% of open roles) and operations roles, with accelerating velocity — a signal of capacity-building post-acquisition or market expansion rather than transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Logistics Director, Logistics Team Lead, Deputy Branch Director, Branch Director, HRIS mission lead
