FM Logistic secures €320 million financing to accelerate its growth strategy in Europe

FM Logistic announces the successful completion of a landmark refinancing transaction totaling €320 million. Significantly oversubscribed, this operation strengthens the Group’s financial structure and supports the continued expansion of its activities across Europe.

With this transaction, FM Logistic reaches a new milestone in the structuring of its financing, serving a threefold objective: refinancing existing debt, supporting investments in its real estate division, and driving its growth.

The €320 million fundraising generated strong interest from the banking market, with demand reaching nearly twice the amount raised. This level of oversubscription highlights the confidence of financial partners in the robustness of the Group’s business model and the consistency of its growth trajectory.

The transaction is based on a hybrid structure combining a corporate tranche and a tranche secured by a targeted portfolio of real estate assets, offering both flexibility and security. Designed at the scale of FM Logistic, it leverages the real estate expertise of NG Concept alongside FM Logistic’s operational commitment, notably through long-term leases on the assets, directly contributing to stable cash flows and a solid financial structure. It also marks a first with a pan-European structuring, notably including an asset in Spain, demonstrating the Group’s ability to manage transactions of this scale.

“This structuring enables us to secure long-term resources under attractive conditions, while diversifying our funding sources across Europe. It reflects our financial discipline and our ability to structure solutions tailored to our development challenges,” said Sébastien Maquet, Chief Financial, Procurement and India Operations Officer of FM Logistic Group.

The quality of the transaction made it possible to bring together a pool of 14 leading banks from eight French and European banking institutions and to secure long-term maturities, with an initial tenor of nine years extendable up to eleven years, exceeding market standards.

Beyond refinancing, this transaction strengthens the Group’s long-term investment capacity. The funds raised will support strategic priorities, particularly in real estate development—from land identification to the construction of new owned sites designed to be multi-client, scalable, and customizable, as well as automation and external growth, in a context of rapidly evolving supply chains.

The Group aims to further strengthen its footprint in its key markets and actively contribute to the transformation of the logistics sector by developing more integrated, efficient, and sustainable solutions, supporting more responsible supply chains. This momentum is fully aligned with its Powering 2030 strategy, which combines economic performance, environmental impact, and social commitment.

“In the face of challenges in the logistics sector, this financing gives us the means to accelerate the deployment of our model in Europe. It strengthens our ability to support supply chain transformation by fully integrating environmental and operational challenges alongside our clients”, added Jean-Christophe Machet, CEO of FM Logistic Group.

Completed in just five months thanks to strong internal mobilization, this transaction demonstrates the teams’ ability to bring together leading financial partners and execute large-scale operations, while engaging a broad ecosystem of stakeholders.
