French term or phrase: deux centrales primaires de la Logistique d’approvisionnements filiales
"Sur un même campus sont regroupés deux centrales primaires de la Logistique d’approvisionnements filiales et l’usine de production."
I understand the sense of the text, but am unsure how to phrase it. The "Logistique d'approvisionnements filiales" is the name of the division, hence the capitalisation.
