executive summary

Managing cargo from around the world

To support the creation of Edenya, Pairi Daiza required a logistics partner capable of managing complex international imports of live plants and specialist materials. Gosselin delivered an integrated logistics and customs solution, coordinating shipments from multiple continents through a single point of contact, enabling reliable execution for one of the park's most ambitious expansion projects.

"For Edenya, we were looking for a partner who was not only strong in logistics, but also understood how important timing, care and precision are when working with living plants and unique pieces. We found that partner in Gosselin. The collaboration went smoothly and professionally, and we look forward to realizing even more projects together in the future."

The Solution

One logistics partner for every shipment

Developing Edenya required far more than transporting cargo from A to B. Pairi Daiza needed a logistics partner capable of coordinating international imports from several countries while ensuring smooth customs clearance for a diverse range of cargo.

The project combined living plants with fragile decorative elements, restaurant furniture, retail merchandise and unique attractions, each with different handling requirements. Managing these varied shipments through multiple suppliers demanded a structured logistics approach that reduced administrative complexity while maintaining precise coordination throughout the supply chain.

Simplifying a complex global Supply chain

Gosselin provided an end-to-end international logistics solution tailored to the requirements of the Edenya project. Acting as a single logistics partner, Gosselin coordinated container shipments of live plants from Thailand, Malaysia and Tenerife alongside additional cargo originating from the United States, Mexico and China.

The project combined ocean freight, customs management and shipment coordination under one central point of contact. Gosselin's in-house customs specialists at CMC handled import formalities, allowing Pairi Daiza to streamline customs processes while maintaining visibility across every shipment.

The wide variety of cargo required flexible logistics planning. Alongside tropical plants, shipments included crystal stalagmites, restaurant furniture, decorative materials, cuddly toys and retail products destined for the park's shops. Each cargo type required its own handling approach, yet all shipments were managed within a single coordinated logistics framework.

conclusion

Global logistics behind Edenya’s expansion

A centralized logistics and customs solution simplified the international supply chain for the Edenya development. Rather than coordinating multiple logistics providers and customs processes, Pairi Daiza benefited from one experienced partner overseeing every shipment from origin to destination.

This integrated approach reduced operational complexity while providing consistency across imports from Europe, Asia and North America. The combination of logistics coordination and in-house customs expertise helped ensure shipments could be managed efficiently despite the diversity of cargo involved.

According to Pairi Daiza, the collaboration demonstrated the importance of combining logistics expertise with careful planning and precise execution when transporting living plants and unique project materials. The successful coordination of these international shipments laid the logistical foundation for one of the park's most significant expansion projects and established a partnership for future developments.
