The 6 essential pieces of equipments
in the food industry

Meeting the requirements of your industries

After several years of working with our clients in the food industry, we have been able to define 6 "flagship" and, above all, essential products to integrate to improve their workstations.

our happy clients speak best about it

We are very satisfied with the mini-lifter, which has changed our approach to the bar storage station. All team members can now work at the station thanks to the handling aid. We are saving time due to ease of handling of
the device. At end of the day it is much less tiring as we are no longer required to use a step ladder, which is an increase in safety in the workshop.

Safety & Environment Manager at ROCHEBILLARD ET BLEIN (AGRIAL Group)
I wanted to give you some positive feedback on the equipment we chose with you. Our employees are really happy with it and use it every day. It's great.
