In France, the subsidiary's sales amounted to 1.33 billion euros in 2017. The company has around 100 agencies in France, as well as another company: Atlantique Express.

From 2013 to 2017, the company invested 85 million in France to renovate existing warehouses and develop new ones. Finally, the group launched an online service (DB Schenkereasy) in 2017 that enables customers to book and ship parcels, containing non-perishable or hazardous products, weighing up to 400 kilos.
