EDITO R I A L

«Adrien and myself are honored to be at the head of the ECS Group. It is a wonderful opportunity to lead 1,000 people on their way to achieving the highest in performance, facing great challenges and going beyond personal limits. For more than 20 years, we have been working tirelessly to offer our principals and customers forwarders with competitive services of the highest quality. For 20 years we have travelled the world meeting individuals, completing studies and seeking out ideas to help us to meet each and every one of your expectations. Adrien and I can count on a constant supply of energy and resources, fuelled by the most precious of all qualities: will-power. In the field, travelling, manning the phones or aboard planes; in Paris, Dubai, Miami, Singapore or Abidjan, all of our staff have this will to succeed and to be a part of a group that is constantly expanding. And it is this will to go further, cross frontiers and push back the limits which has driven me to seal our relationship with our GSA partner, AVS Group. Based in over 10 countries throughout Asia, AVS and its hundred or so staff have joined the ranks of ECS and will contribute to making our Group into an entity that can provide a dedicated and expert service throughout the globe. Adrien and I are proud of these men and women with whom we share such a common vision of a world of challenge, respect and innovation. Together we will progress to ensure the corporate success of our clients. Driven by new technology and the knowledge whether our industry will be «e» or not, we will strive to support your transition into the e-world with serenity.»
