The last mile expert
Historical expertise: press distribution
Leader in Île-de-France, Proximy ensures the daily distribution of 49 press titles, or 100,000 to 120,000 daily copies, delivered directly to letterboxes, kiosks, hotels, airports and major accounts.
Recognized expertise serving publishers and couriers. This regularity and reliability are based on a unique organization: 7 distribution agencies, a fleet of 70 vehicles, and a workforce of nearly 1,400 employees, including more than 1,200 permanent delivery drivers.
“We are committed to diversification to ensure our next sources of growth.”

Solutions for your packages
A new growth driver: parcel distribution
Faced with the structural decline in press volumes, Proximy is accelerating its development in e-commerce and small parcel logistics.
Delivery to mailbox or doorstep for individuals
Solutions adapted to businesses (SAS, shelf placement, BtoB procurement)
Expertise transferable to many sectors: e-commerce, optics, automotive, aeronautics, florists, specialized distribution, etc.
With the arrival of several talented individuals, Proximy is structuring an ambitious offering, while evolving its identity: Yesterday, Proximy was a press company that did logistics. Tomorrow, a logistics company that also distributes the press.
Human and committed logistics
Proximy is, above all, the women and men—deliverers and logisticians—who ensure continuity of service every day, whatever the conditions. Loyalty, diversity of profiles, and a sense of service are the DNA of this strategic activity of the Riccobono Group.
The power of innovation in the service of logistics
Proximy develops digital tools to optimize its performance and support its teams in the field:
ProxiDriver: mobile application to simplify the work of delivery drivers (optimization of tours, real-time tracking, administrative management).
ProxiOpti: suite of AI tools to improve key indicators (travel time, kilometers traveled).
Flash Sales / Flash Paper: mobile solution for managing unsold items deployed in 3,400 points of sale.
Result: satisfaction rates above 99.7% in the daily, weekly and monthly press.
