With regard to logistics and goods flow management, the Centre region has the advantage of ideal positioning at the epicentre of a logistics network that enables companies to distribute their products to anywhere in France in less than a day. As a result, large numbers of industrial players and service providers have been able to optimise their national and even European logistics with the Centre region as a starting point. We may, for example, cite the Wyeth Laboratories national distribution centre, the Procter & Gamble and Pfizer European platforms, the Vivarte national distribution centre and Sephora.

Although almost 30% of the activity is currently concentrated in the Orleans Basin, logistics operators are studying opportunities for locating throughout the region.
