FE opens assembly hall

France Elévateur has opened its new 1,800 square metre sub assembly building at its plant in to its plant in Flavigny sur Moselle - to the south of Nancy in Eastern France.

The build programme began at the end of last year – see: Further expansion for FE and will be used for the assembly of the entire superstructure, (turret, telescopic boom and platform). It will also be used for electrical adjustments and finishing operations.

The company says that the “building has been organised around two main objectives: the optimisation of logistics flows and the industrialisation of the entire assembly process.”

This additional space brings the total production area of FE Group in France and Spain to almost 25,000 square metres. The aim is to meet growing demand especially form markets beyond its main markets of France and Belgium. At the same time the company is stepping up its efforts to break into new markets, and last week made its UK debut at Vertikal Days, while appointing Elite access as its UK partner.
The plan is to increase exports from 25 to 50 percent within five years.
