Bruno Vitali - General Manager - Challenge Group 
"HAROPA has a complete range of logistics solutions for the sensitive dangerous goods sector: an exceptional maritime offer, particularly in Asia and US trade, the presence of professionals in the storage, handling, distribution and transport of hazardous products in both bulk and packaged form, key traceability tools (TIMAD) as well as ISO 28000-certified installations for site safety and security. These are considerable assets in the context of international competitiveness: they support the promotion of the port areas of the Seine axis and above all the increase in the volumes that transit via HAROPA." 

Lionel Jauseau - General Manager of European Logistics -
LUBRIZOL Corporation 

"Lubrizol, a global player in speciality chemicals, is particularly attentive to finding transport and storage facilities adapted to its products and the level of quality of its Customer Service. To meet the demand for operational and logistical excellence expected by its customers, given its industrial facilities in Normandy, the HAROPA offer represents a major challenge for Lubrizol. Lubrizol now has excellent infrastructure (nautical access to a deep-water port), large storage capacities for bulk liquids and containers, and an experienced resource base for handling hazardous materials. The variety of HAROPA's offer is interesting because it allows us to develop a service in line with our customers' requirements."
