Explanation:
they refer to "en filiale", I feel not all of these have to be geographic areas.

Direction Commerciale France?
Direction Commerciale Europe?
Direction des Opérations Internationales?
North & Latin America
Amérique du Sud Pacifique?

Given the reference to AmLat-Nord, I'm particularly confident ASP is Amérique du Sud + something, and the Pacific is right next door.
