Groupe Transit is driven by a mission to help Canadian, American and European food manufacturers export goods anywhere in America or Europe as effortlessly as delivering them to a neighboring city. Built by experts who’ve experienced the challenges of exporting firsthand, Groupe Transit approaches global logistics through the lens of manufacturers. While traditional customs brokers or transport companies treat exporting as a transactional process, it thinks outside the box to address hurdles. As a premium, fourth-party logistics provider, Groupe Transit turns the complexities of international food export into a strategic advantage. Central to this is a turnkey service that delivers end-to-end support, covering everything from regulatory assistance to logistics and transportation. Offering all solutions under one roof and a single point of contact simplifies the export process. “We never let food manufacturers misstep,” says Jacques Bédard, president. “In a time of uncertainty caused by shifting trade dynamics and new tariffs, we step in as a reliable partner, helping food importers and exporters execute their operations seamlessly and exceed customer expectations.” Unmatched expertise in the regulatory and customs complexities of international food shipping makes it the go-to partner for all food supply chain needs. Compliance, certification and logistics services are integrated to streamline operations and provide peace of mind to clients. Compliance services are at the top of the offerings, as importers seek to mitigate the risk of fines or even criminal charges that could arise if a product harms a consumer. Services include FDA Agent representation, FSVP Importer support, Food Facility Registration assistance and USDA Importer services for USDA-regulated products. Groupe Transit collaborates with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the European Food Safety Authority to support cross-border regulatory alignment. It equally excels in ensuring the timely delivery of manufacturers’ products to retailers through comprehensive transportation solutions across road, sea and air. A robust network of over 250 warehouses in the U.S. and Canada, 48 throughout Europe, and additional locations in Mexico complements its capabilities. Expertly Vetted Network for Timely and Quality Fulfillment Groupe Transit helps manufacturers achieve high service standards and operational success. Many retailers closely monitor manufacturers’ delivery performance using metrics such as back orders and on-time delivery scores. Performance that consistently fails to meet a retailer’s delivery standards can trigger penalties or de-listing, jeopardizing their shelf space. To overcome this, Groupe Transit operates as a manufacturer-based fulfillment partner, integrating every stage of the export process into a comprehensive logistics framework. It covers everything from selecting the best transporter and preparing the required customs documentation to choosing the ideal customs broker and scheduling deliveries.
