Since its creation, our family business has focused most of its efforts on the African continent.<\/p>\n

Over time, our activity has evolved considerably. The early days of trading gave way to more technical professions, with a major turning point in 1932: the signing of the Caterpillar representation contract, marking 90 years of committed presence in West Africa.<\/p>\n

Since 2021, the group has continued its development around two strategic pillars: material handling and energy, always close to the industrial needs of the continent.<\/p>\n

Despite these changes, people have remained at the heart of our organization. It is this culture, built over time, that we are committed to preserving.<\/p>\n

In that same spirit, we\u2019ve chosen to partner with French companies that share our values. A new chapter, faithful to our story.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Our values<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Teams are the foundation of every success, the driving force behind every project.<\/p>\n

In 2020, a large-scale collective initiative led to the emergence of four core values. Embraced by all employees, they reflect the group\u2019s DNA and guide its future development.<\/p>\n

These values are both the legacy of our history and the compass for a shared ambition.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
