Located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the Reunion Island is a French overseas département with 2 512 Km² that makes up, with Mauritius and Rodrigues Island, the ancient Mascarene. Its geographical and cultural closeness with the other players in the area plays an unquestionable part with institutions as the COI (Commission de l'Océan Indien (Indian Ocean Commission)), IOR (Indian Ocean Rim) and the SADC (Southern African Development Community).

Its implantation in the Indian Ocean gives it the ultra-peripheral region status of Europe. The Island belongs to the France / South Africa free-exchange zone and access to a market of more than 380 million European consumers.

It is in this context that the first companies of the Group were set up in 1967, before becoming SDV International Logistics in 1993. Initially located in the Port activity zone, SDV International Logistics then moved into a new building with 4 650 m² at La Possession in March 2000.
