Unique global network
For over 60 years, Coface has continued to focus on steadily improving the local service offered to its 85,000 clients throughout the world. The Group's objective is to broaden its product and service offering in the light of increasing trade globalisation, meet the challenges of e-commerce and continue to build its international reach so as to provide a seamless delivery of expertise to its clients worldwide.
The following 6 regional platforms are responsible for co-ordinating the activities of the local subsidiaries and branches in the 60 countries where Coface has direct operations:
- Central Europe
- West Africa
- Central America
- the Andes region
- the South Asia-Pacific region
- North Asia and the China region
This organisation by region rather than by business line strengthens client relationships by ensuring that companies receive advice from a single source about all the Coface products and services available to meet their needs.
In countries where Coface does not have a subsidiary or branch, clients are served by high quality partners via the CreditAlliance credit insurance & information network, which offers a local service across 93 countries.
