CMA CGM to acquire Fattal Group

CMA CGM Group has reached an agreement with the shareholders of Fattal Group to acquire 100% of the company, marking a significant step in its strategy to expand its end-to-end logistics capabilities.

The transaction, which includes CMA CGM and its affiliates, remains subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.

The acquisition will enable CMA CGM to strengthen its downstream presence by integrating Fattal’s established distribution platform, particularly across the Middle East and North Africa region. The move is aimed at enhancing the group’s ability to offer comprehensive supply chain solutions closer to end markets and consumers.

“This acquisition represents a key milestone in our ambition to become a global leader in end-to-end logistics and supply chain solutions. By integrating Fattal’s strong distribution platform, we are expanding our capabilities downstream, closer to end markets and consumers.

Together, we will leverage our combined strengths to drive growth, deepen our presence in fast-growing MENA markets, and deliver greater value to our customers and partners. This transaction also reflects our continued confidence in Lebanon and our commitment to supporting its long-term development,” said Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of CMA CGM Group.

“After 130 years of continued stewardship, the Fattal shareholders have made the decision to entrust the future of the Fattal Group to CMA CGM Group as they are confident that it will continue to build on the success of the Group and stay true to its mission to add value and ensure the long-term strength and success of the Group, its people, its suppliers and the communities it serves,” said Caroline Fattal, Chairwoman of the Fattal Group.

The deal highlights CMA CGM’s ongoing expansion beyond ocean freight, reinforcing its position as a global logistics provider with a growing footprint in key emerging markets.
