19 July 2024Celebrating 40 years of France Elévateur: an unforgettable event

A look back at 40 years of France Elévateur: a memorable anniversary!

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of France Elévateur, we have organized an exceptional two-day event, bringing together our customers, partners, suppliers and employees. This milestone anniversary was an opportunity to share our history, showcase our innovations and strengthen our ties with the stakeholders who help shape our future!

Customer Day: A special moment with our partners

The first day of our celebration was dedicated to our valued customers, partners and suppliers. The day was therefore a way of thanking them for their trust and support over the last four decades.

Introducing TIME Group products

The day was an opportunity to showcase the products of the TIME Manufacturing group: historic aerial work platforms representing the evolution and know-how of each brand!

It was also an opportunity to exhibit emblematic France Elévateur AWP such as:

  • A TOPY 8 owned by the city of Montbéliard,
  • The new e-TOPY 11 100% electric,
  • The fantastic 414 TBI for our emblematic customer RTE,
  • Our unique 192 TBA brush platform, created in partnership with Bel’Façades,
  • A 132 Fv and a 202 ATP belonging to the city of Nancy,
  • Platforms from the GRID range, designed in particular for our long-standing customer ENEDIS.

The group’s other brands were also represented! Ruthmann, whose customer NACEL+ was present with its T650 STEIGER high-boom aerial work platform, a TB 290 and a SA18 Bluelift spider boom lift. Finally, we also exhibited a Versalift VDTL-160, as well as a TLR 16 and ATL 15 from Movex.

Tours of our Flavigny-sur-Moselle plant

One of the highlifts of the day was a tour of our factory and the various buildings dedicated to the production of our aerial work platforms. Our guests were able to learn more about our manufacturing processes from our employees and attend the inauguration of two new production lines.

These new lines, installed in dedicated buildings, will be dedicated to the assembly of kits for Ruthmann and Versalift machines. The aim is therefore to increase synergies between the brands and to develop in a unified way. France Elévateur thus becomes the first site in Europe to have production lines dedicated to all 3 business units.

Employee day: A family birthday

The second day of the event was reserved for our employees and their families, as well as former France Elévateur staff. The day was a real celebration and a chance to get together for this very special anniversary.

Family activities

The families of our employees had the opportunity to visit heplant and discover the working environment of their loved ones. Secondly, we honored some of our employees by awarding them long-service medals, ranging from 20 to 40 years for some of them! It is important to celebrate the dedication and hard work of our employees, the pillars of our success.

In addition, we organized activities to create unforgettable moments, with inflatable and wooden games. To add a touch of wonder, a birds of prey show took place early in the evening to captivate guests.

Finally, the day came to a close with a rock band and DJ, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves!

A promising future for France Elévateur

The two-day celebration was resounding success, marking an important milestone in the history of France Elévateur. We are determined to continue on this path of innovation and excellence, and look forward to sharing many more TIME Manufacturing Group successes with you.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this memorable event!
