How would you explain what LV Overseas does?

LV Overseas is an international freight forwarding services provider, specialised in maritime flows, providing a comprehensive range of services to our customers in door-to-door freight (coordinating logistics, storage, bundling / unbundling, loading as well as administrative and customs formalities).

How has LV Overseas evolved over recent years?

LV Overseas has grown very rapidly, with an acceleration of the acquisition pace over the last two years and an increased internationalisation. However, the Group has maintained its strong entrepreneurial DNA, family culture and sense of customer service, which are key factors of our performance.

Why did you choose MML as a financial partner?

We were looking for a partner to further accelerate our external growth strategy, notably through international acquisitions. We rapidly created a strong fit with the MML team (Henry-Louis, Louis, Anne-Claire and Charles) who grasped the key aspects of our business and showed the value-add they would bring. We look forward to working with them in our next development phase and are already examining acquisition opportunities together.
