The history of our company
The firm of BEM EXPERTISES, BUREAU D’EXPERTISE MULTISERVICES, formerly BENOIT EXPERTISE MULTIMODALE, is the successor to the original cargo surveying firm founded by Patrick BENOIT. Initially specialised in the inspection and quality assessment of hides and skins which was the speciality of the founder, Patrick BENOIT, in 1985, the company has long since extended its activity to a wide range of surveys and inspections of cargoes of all types.
Yann HENRY joined the firm in 2013 when he established the company BEM MULTIMODALE which he has been sole Director of since October 2018, having considerably expanded the types of surveys on offer.
Located in the centre of the city of Marseille, the offices allow for a direct and rapid access not only to the Commercial Port of Marseille itself, but also to the road links serving the areas North, East and West of Marseille.
