CEVA Logistics
Zavia.ai’s on-file record for this profile (internal ID 217512173) lists a country code of Panama (PA) and http://cevalogistics.com/ as the company’s website, but carries no registration number and no incorporation date. The website on file is the global corporate site of CEVA Logistics, the international freight-forwarding and contract-logistics group, rather than a Panama-specific address, so the precise Panama-registered legal entity behind this record cannot be confirmed from the supplied data alone.
A review of Panama’s Registro Público, accessed through the Panadata registry aggregator rather than a direct paid registry query, identifies an active Panamanian company named CEVA Freight Management Panama S. de R.L., a sociedad de responsabilidad limitada with an address at Avenida 2da, France Field, Zona Libre de Colón, Colón, Panama, reported as having been constituted roughly two decades ago. Its exact ficha/folio number and precise incorporation date were not accessible without a paid Registro Público search, so this identification is treated as probable rather than fully verified, and this description does not assume it is definitively the entity behind this Zavia.ai record.
At the global level, CEVA Logistics is a multinational freight-forwarding and contract-logistics group formed in 2007 through the merger of TNT Logistics and EGL Eagle Global Logistics. Its head office moved from Switzerland to Marseille, France in 2019, and the group offers air, ocean, road and rail freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs brokerage and finished-vehicle logistics across a reported network of around 160 countries. CMA CGM S.A. completed a public tender offer for the group’s then-listed Swiss holding company, CEVA Logistics AG, on 10 April 2019; following cancellation of the remaining publicly held shares and delisting from the SIX Swiss Exchange effective 10 October 2019, CEVA Logistics has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, the France-based container-shipping and logistics group controlled by the Saadé family. In February 2024 CMA CGM completed its acquisition of Bolloré Logistics, integrating it into the CEVA Logistics brand during 2024. Within CMA CGM’s published 2025 annual results, the group’s Logistics segment, which includes CEVA Logistics, reported revenue of approximately $18.3 billion, against total CMA CGM Group revenue of approximately $54.4 billion; these are consolidated, group-level figures and are not attributed here to any single national operating entity such as a Panama branch or subsidiary.

Shareholders
Shareholders of CEVA Logistics (Panama)
No shareholder register specific to a Panama-registered CEVA Logistics entity was located in this review. Panama’s Registro Público can record share-capital and quotaholder information for registered sociedades, but obtaining a full extract, including the pacto social and any subsequent shareholder filings, requires a direct paid registry query that was not available for this review; the free-tier Panadata aggregator entry examined for the entity provisionally identified as CEVA Freight Management Panama S. de R.L. did not display shareholder names or percentages.
At the group level, CEVA Logistics AG, the Swiss-registered holding company that headed the group before its 2019 relocation, had previously been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Following CMA CGM S.A.’s public tender offer, completed 10 April 2019, and the subsequent squeeze-out ordered by the High Court of the Canton of Zug, all remaining publicly held CEVA registered shares were cancelled on 18 September 2019, with delisting from the SIX Swiss Exchange effective 10 October 2019; CEVA Logistics has since operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group. If the Panama entity behind this record is confirmed as part of CEVA Logistics’ international network of country-level operating entities, its shareholder would be expected to be a CEVA Logistics or CMA CGM group holding company at or near 100%, consistent with a standard wholly owned local operating subsidiary rather than a company with a dispersed public shareholder base. This is stated as a reasonable inference from the group’s known, confirmed ownership structure, not as a verified local shareholding fact, since no Panama-specific shareholder filing was reviewed for this record.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner has been verified for the specific Panama entity behind this record. At the ultimate group level, the CMA CGM Group is reported, according to company filings cited by financial media, to be majority-owned (approximately 73%) by members of the Saadé family, led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodolphe Saadé, through a family holding vehicle. This ownership is disclosed only at the CMA CGM Group level; it has not been confirmed as forming a complete, consistently dated ownership chain down to any specific Panama-registered CEVA entity, so no calculated effective UBO percentage is presented for this record.
Data availability
Country availability for this record: Not found at the local Panama entity level, since no shareholder filing specific to that entity was independently reviewed. Historical, Major-shareholders-only disclosure is available for the former listed Swiss holding company at the group level. The absence of local shareholder data should not be read as evidence that the Panama entity has no shareholders or ultimate owner.
Officers
Directors and officers of CEVA Logistics (Panama)
No dignatarios, legal representative or director specific to a Panama-registered CEVA Logistics entity were confirmed in this review. Panama’s Registro Público typically records a company’s dignatarios (commonly President, Secretary and Treasurer) and any registered legal representative (apoderado) in the pacto social and subsequent filings, but the free-tier registry aggregator view checked for the entity provisionally identified as CEVA Freight Management Panama S. de R.L. did not list this information, and a full registry extract was not obtained for this review.
Global CEVA Logistics executive leadership does not represent, and should not be read as, any Panama entity’s registered legal representative or local management. As of 1 July 2026, CEVA Logistics’ group Chief Executive Officer is Patrick Moebel, who succeeded Mathieu Friedberg; Friedberg moved into an expanded CMA CGM Group role as Executive Vice President, Transformation. These are group-level executive appointments reported by trade press, not Panama corporate-registry appointments, and neither individual is presented here as an officer of any Panama-registered entity.
Data availability
Country availability for this record: Not found. Panama does publish dignatario and legal-representative information for registered companies, but obtaining it generally requires a direct, often paid, Registro Público search rather than a free public lookup, and none was completed for this record. This should not be read as evidence that the entity has no directors, dignatarios or legal representative.
Group Structure
Group structure of CEVA Logistics (Panama)
The corporate-group position of the Panama entity behind this record has not been independently verified and is presented here only as a possible relationship (unverified). If the entity provisionally identified in Panama’s Registro Público as CEVA Freight Management Panama S. de R.L. is confirmed to be the entity behind this record, it would be consistent with CEVA Logistics’ normal practice of operating through country-level entities across a reported roughly 160 countries for it to sit as a local operating subsidiary or branch beneath the CEVA Logistics international structure; this specific parent-subsidiary link has not been confirmed by an official filing reviewed for this record.
At the confirmed group level: CMA CGM S.A. completed a public tender offer for CEVA Logistics AG, the group’s former Swiss-listed holding company, on 10 April 2019. Following a squeeze-out of remaining minority shareholders ordered by the High Court of the Canton of Zug on 18 September 2019 and delisting from the SIX Swiss Exchange effective 10 October 2019, CEVA Logistics has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, the Marseille-headquartered container-shipping and logistics group. CMA CGM Group is privately held, majority-owned by the Saadé family, and is not listed on any stock exchange, though it publishes consolidated financial results as a bond issuer; CMA CGM’s 2025 annual results report Logistics-segment revenue (which includes CEVA Logistics) of approximately $18.3 billion within total group revenue of approximately $54.4 billion. CMA CGM completed its acquisition of Bolloré Logistics on 29 February 2024 and integrated it into the CEVA Logistics brand during 2024, expanding the group’s freight-forwarding and contract-logistics network; whether or how this integration affects any individual Panama entity has not been confirmed for this record.
Data availability
Country availability for this record: Not found at the confirmed local-entity level. Full disclosure is available at the confirmed CMA CGM Group / CEVA Logistics global level through official group announcements and published financial results. The specific link between the Panama entity and the global group has not been independently verified for this record.
