The company with headquarter in Lyon has achieved in 2011 a turnover of approximately EUR 40 million and has over 600 employees.

With the sale of SN CGVL Star's Service group refocuses on its core competence in the delivery over the "last mile". Robin Laik, founder and member of the executive board of mutares AG, says about the future development of SN CGVL: "Due to the good customer relations and the high quality of service, we see significant growth potential for SN CGVL in the French market. mutares is happy about the successful closing of the contract."
