HERITAGE

Fuelled by a rich heritage and anchored in modernity, the Chargeurs Group is continuing a great industrial saga that began back in 1872.

Chargeurs has been meeting the expectations of its times, anticipating technological, financial and societal changes alike, without ever losing sight of its identity and ambition.

The history of the Group began with the Vignal family who started the Chargeurs Réunis as a navigation company. The Group has been operating in many industries. It was active in banking and insurance, in the hospitality industry with Club Med and Sofitel hotels, and even in the Chemicals sector.

Chargeurs is nowadays a worldwide champion on the cutting-edge markets. High-performance solutions, disruptive innovations, a global footprint, and standards of excellence are today the hallmarks of the Group’s identity.
