Current challenges, such as the disruptions in the Red Sea, are having a profound impact on our global supply chains. These events are forcing us to adapt our strategies to ensure the continuity of our services.
To meet these challenges, we are implementing measures to secure our supply chains. We are improving the visibility of our operations, diversifying our distribution channels and making our processes more flexible. Collaboration between stakeholders is also essential to us.
In our industry, cold chain management is paramount. We take care to scrupulously comply with storage temperatures to guarantee the quality and safety of our products. Refrigerated transport, particularly for frozen products, is an essential link in our supply chain.

Barba Group's innovative logistics strategies
We have implemented innovative logistics strategies to meet growing demand. Our site in Villeneuve-les-Béziers, on a 3-hectare plot of land, illustrates our commitment. This 6,000 m² building houses our head office, our factory and a logistics platform with negative-temperature storage.
Our -60°C storage zone is the largest in France, and is complemented by a -25°C zone. This capacity enables us to store 3,000 pallets. To optimize our operations, we use Spidy WMS software, which manages our logistics flows and enables us to offer comprehensive services to our customers.
With Barba Stockblog, we offer tailor-made logistics solutions: order preparation, packaging, labeling and shipping. This flexible approach enables us to adapt to the specific needs of each customer, reinforcing our position as a major player in the seafood sector.
