The Transmob story Your new furniture transport partner since 1976
In 1976, German furniture manufacturers were looking for a delivery partner with a reliable distribution network in France, capable of delivering to furniture retailers and with a proven expertise in handling customs formalities.
The company’s founders seized the opportunity, and Trans'mob was born.
In order to respond to the demand from German exporters, and to facilitate the necessary customs procedures, Trans’mob set up a base in Germany and, thanks to this proximity, rapidly became the leading transporter of kitchens and home furnishings from Germany to France.
The company’s founders already had considerable experience in the removals sector, and in order to consolidate their distribution network they soon acquired another company specialising in furniture transportation. They soon earned a reputation for professionalism and reliability, with quality transport services, specialist equipment and trained personnel.
When the removal of customs barriers made the free circulation of goods the new norm, Trans'mob transferred its HQ to Rosheim, moving into specially-designed premises on a site with direct access to the motorway.
This new geographical positioning made the company ideally placed to handle goods coming in from Eastern Europe, expanding its portfolio of professional transportation services to cover home furnishings, kitchens, assembled furniture, bathrooms, cupboards and flat-pack products.
Trans’mob continued to diversify its range of products and services, while also specialising in the transportation of office furniture, including installation and assembly services for industrial clients. In 2007, the current directors decided to open a new chapter in the company’s development.
They invested in new technology to anticipate the demands of the market and meet the requirements of clients, with a new ex-works service from European factories.
