Customer background

Cremieux is a French family-owned, quiet luxury company founded in 1976 in Saint-Tropez. From day one, they have focused on providing thoughtfully designed, impeccably crafted menswear, sourced from the finest European
materials and made in small, luxury factories throughout their continental homeland.

The brand’s success has been built on creating
timeless and fashionable designs that are both
classic and relaxed, appealing to customers
around the world

Challenges

At Betachon Shipping Solutions, we are dedicated to finding solutions that make your logistics and shipping more efficient every day

Lacking the deep pockets of fashion giants, it was critical to find a logistics solution that could provide the flexibility to find the best prices in the market without compromising quality and reliability

To honor the founders' vision and the company's DNA, French manufactures and raw materials are shipped from Europe to North America each season. This requires a detailed, granular tracking system for each transoceanic shipment
