ID Logistics adds fresh products to the Mousquetaires site in the Loire: 38 million parcels per year
Taken over in October 2024 following the acquisition of Casino stores by the Groupement Mousquetaires, the warehouse in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules (Loire) has been handling fresh products, fruit and vegetables since 2 November 2026. Operated by ID Logistics, the 52,000 m² platform thus raises its annual capacity to 38 million parcels.
Operations entrusted to ID Logistics from the site's takeover
In October 2024, as part of the reorganisation of its logistics network following, in particular, the acquisition of Casino stores, the Groupement Mousquetaires entrusted ID Logistics with the operation of the Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules site, near Saint-Étienne. ID Logistics immediately took over the management of dry-goods flows serving 117 stores in the region, ensuring operational continuity.
The two partners then undertook a gradual transformation of this historic platform to adapt it to the new distribution needs of the group's banners. The conversion of part of the building to temperature-controlled operations was carried out without interrupting activity or store deliveries.
For ID Logistics, which reported revenue of €3.7 billion in 2025, the site adds to a network of 450 sites across 20 countries.
Fresh products now account for 21 million parcels per year
To accommodate these new flows, 14,250 m² were refitted and equipped with a mechanised sorting system, designed to speed up and improve the reliability of order preparation, to increase productivity and to reduce the physical strain of certain tasks.
Annual volumes are split between 21 million parcels of fresh products and 17 million parcels of dry goods: fresh products, a new activity for the site, therefore represent more than half of the flows handled. The platform will supply 117 stores with dry goods and 103 stores with fresh products.
Operating 24 hours a day, the site now handles, within a single logistics operation, product categories and temperature requirements that differ from one another.
Over 200 employees taken over, with headcount expected to reach 330
In October 2024, ID Logistics welcomed more than 200 employees who were already working on the platform. The start of fresh-product operations is accompanied by additional recruitment, and 330 employees will ultimately work on the site.
Holders of key positions are notably being trained on other platforms operated by the retailer, as part of a programme organised with the Groupement Mousquetaires.
"Refitting a fully operational site while preparing to take on new flows represents a major operational challenge," said Frédéric Grenier, managing director of ID Logistics France.
Loïc Le Nan, president of Intermarché / Netto Logistique, for his part stated: "With ID Logistics, we have transformed a historic site to meet the changing needs of our stores, without disrupting their deliveries."
