| About us |
Gilep was created some 25 years ago, on the initiative of the Major General, then Director of the French Forces' Joint Military Service for POL delivery to the armed forces, at the rear in peace time as well as up to the front lines in operations.
The purpose was to federate, as a civilian entity but under some real though discreet watch of the Military, a whole set of companies having demonstrated their capability for providing the SEA and the armed forces with all the needed POL logistics equipment, including sub-assemblies, components and related materiel regarding crew- and environment protection. Gilep members work in close collaboration with the French POL Service (Service des Essences des Armées – SEA) so as to help define, then meet the requirements regarding the materiel they will provide.
It is easily understandable that Gilep member companies must be either genuinely French companies, or French subsidiaries of foreign groups active on the French soil. Many members are competitors to each other, in some more or less wide part of the range of their products. This ensures the Military buyer that they will be provided with the latest and the fittest product at the best price.
