Trade Show: Nexline Visits EquipHotel and Expoprotection in Paris
A trade show is an opportunity to meet businesses, discover their activities and gain a better understanding of developments across different industries. In November 2026, three Nexline Group colleagues visited Paris Expo Porte de Versailles for two major events: EquipHotel Paris and Expoprotection. Thomas Bourez, Sales Director, Mélanie Grenêche, Sales Representative, and Mohammed Lahlou Lamloukhi, a recently appointed Sales Representative, represented Nexline. The programme included exploring the exhibitions, meeting industry professionals and discovering new opportunities. Above all, the visit reflected our commitment to staying close to the businesses and sectors we support. Two Trade Shows in Paris to Explore New Markets In November 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles hosted two important industry events: EquipHotel Paris and Expoprotection. Although they focus on different sectors, both events bring businesses together to present their activities, discover new solutions and exchange ideas. EquipHotel is an international trade fair dedicated to hospitality, hotels and restaurants. It brings together professionals specialising in furniture, interior design, commercial equipment and technology for hospitality businesses. Expoprotection, meanwhile, focuses on safety, security and risk prevention. The exhibition welcomes companies specialising in personal protection, occupational safety, risk management and related equipment. For Nexline, visiting these two trade shows was an opportunity to explore different economic sectors. It also allowed our team to meet businesses with a wide range of activities. After all, logistics requirements vary considerably between industries. The type of goods, shipment volumes, destinations and delivery constraints can all influence transport arrangements. Thomas, Mélanie and Mohammed: The Nexline Team on the Ground Three colleagues took part in the visit: Thomas Bourez, Mélanie Grenêche and Mohammed Lahlou Lamloukhi. Thomas, Sales Director, and Mélanie, Sales Representative, were joined by Mohammed, who recently became part of the Nexline team. Throughout the day, our colleagues explored the exhibitions, spoke with industry professionals and made new connections. These visits help us maintain direct contact with businesses. They complement the telephone calls, online meetings and other exchanges that form part of our daily work. They also give us a better understanding of the industries in which our customers and contacts operate. For a new colleague like Mohammed, attending a trade show is also an opportunity to gain first-hand experience alongside the team. At Nexline, we value these close working relationships. Our people-focused team encourages collaboration and helps us maintain a practical understanding of customer needs. This human approach is something we aim to preserve every day, both within our offices and in our professional relationships. Understanding Business Logistics Needs Through Industry Events Every industry has its own transport and logistics requirements. In hospitality, for example, businesses may need to ship furniture, professional kitchen equipment or materials used to furnish hotels and restaurants. In the safety and protection sector, shipments may involve technical equipment, protective products or goods requiring particular handling conditions. These examples illustrate the variety of logistics requirements businesses can face. Organising shipments depends on several factors. These include the nature of the goods, delivery deadlines, destination and available transport options. That’s why we take a tailored approach at Nexline. Our role is to organise freight transport and coordinate the different stakeholders involved in the supply chain. Through our transport flow management solutions, we support businesses in France and internationally. We help them organise and coordinate their logistics operations. Attending industry events therefore also helps us better understand the activities of different businesses and the challenges they may encounter. This market knowledge complements our logistics expertise. It also helps us maintain relevant conversations with our customers and professional contacts. Nexline: Building Stronger Customer Relationships Through Direct Contact Attending a trade fair is not just about discovering new products or services. It is also an opportunity to meet professionals, discuss their activities and develop long-term relationships. Our visits to EquipHotel and Expoprotection reflect this approach. By meeting businesses from different industries, our colleagues continue to expand their knowledge and professional network. This presence on the ground is part of how we work. At Nexline, we organise international freight shipments through our teams and an international logistics network of transport partners. Our aim is to provide solutions adapted to each company’s goods, destinations and operational requirements. However, effective logistics also depends on the quality of communication with customers and partners. That’s why we continue to prioritise personal contact, professional discussions and close working relationships. We would like to thank Thomas, Mélanie and Mohammed for representing Nexline at these two Paris trade shows. New encounters, new industries to explore and the same ambition: supporting our customers with expertise and a personal approach.

Import Export: Nexline Meets a Chongqing Delegation in Paris
Import export, international trade and economic development were among the main topics discussed at a business event held in Paris, centred around the Chinese municipality of Chongqing. Nexline Group attended the meeting alongside a Chinese delegation and representatives from the business community. The event focused on opportunities for collaboration between France and China, particularly in the investment and luxury sectors. For our team, it was also an opportunity to present our expertise in international transport and logistics, our network and our ability to support businesses with their import-export operations. Here is a look back at a day in Paris filled with professional meetings, presentations and discussions about international trade. International Trade: A Meeting Between France and Chongqing China plays a major role in international trade. Beyond its major coastal cities, places such as Chongqing also contribute to the development of economic relationships with foreign businesses. Against this backdrop, a meeting was held in Paris, bringing together a Chinese delegation and representatives from the business community. Discussions focused on investment, the luxury sector and opportunities for economic development between French and Chinese markets. For businesses operating internationally, these meetings provide an opportunity to establish new contacts, better understand market expectations and explore potential collaborations. They also create space to discuss the practical challenges associated with international trade. After all, developing business between two countries involves more than finding customers or suppliers. Companies must also organise the transport of goods, anticipate customs procedures and coordinate the different stakeholders involved. These are precisely the areas where Nexline supports businesses. Import Export: Nexline Presents Its International Transport Solutions During the meeting, our team presented Nexline Group’s activities and the solutions we offer to businesses involved in international trade. Our presentation particularly highlighted our expertise in organising imports from Asia. For a company looking to import from China, several stages need to be coordinated. These include preparing the order with the supplier, selecting the appropriate transport method, handling customs formalities and arranging delivery to the final destination. The available solutions can vary considerably depending on the goods, shipment volumes and delivery deadlines. Sea freight may be suitable for larger shipments or those planned well in advance. Air freight is often considered when speed is a priority. Meanwhile, rail freight and multimodal solutions can offer alternatives, depending on the available routes. At Nexline, our role is not to recommend the same transport method for every shipment. Instead, we assess each company’s requirements to organise a solution suited to its needs. This approach relies on our network of partners and our experience in transport flow management. And although Asia was an important part of the discussions that day, our expertise extends well beyond the region. We also organise import-export operations across numerous international markets. Nexline: Supporting Businesses with Their Import-Export Projects An import-export operation often involves several stakeholders based in different countries. Suppliers, carriers, freight forwarders, logistics providers and customs authorities must all intervene at the right time to keep goods moving. For businesses, coordinating these operations can quickly become complex. Our role is to organise the supply chain while taking into account the requirements of each project. We rely on our international logistics network to combine local market knowledge with global transport coordination. Maintaining close relationships with the different stakeholders involved in international trade is central to how we work. The meeting with the Chongqing delegation in Paris reflects this commitment. It gave us an opportunity to present our solutions, meet new business contacts and discuss the needs of companies developing their international activities. Because behind every import-export operation, there are also professional relationships, conversations and people working together to move projects forward. At Nexline, this human dimension is something we value every day, both in our daily operations and at events like this one.
