The Guisnel Group
Mr and Mrs Guisnel founded their transport company on the Pleugueneuc site in Ille & Vilaine, Brittany, in 1957..
At that point, they held two fundamental beliefs:
- Driving is not an end in itself; talent and dignity are essential when providing transport services.
- Well-recognized professionalism should be oriented towards particularly difficult niche markets with high value-added.
This is how Mr and Mrs Guisnel naturally became involved, successively, in transporting gravestones, distributing liquid petroleum gas, transporting blanket wrap new furniture and living-room suites and industrial vehicle rental.
