GAUSSIN (EURONEXTGROWTH ALGAU – FR0013495298), a pioneer in the clean and intelligent transport of goods and people, announces the increase of its production capacities with the installation of a new 28,000 square-meter site in Saint Vallier, in the Saône-et-Loire region.

It will be dedicated to the production of ATM® logistics and APM® port vehicles in order to meet the increasing demand on the European and American markets in particular. This new site also strengthens the Group’s historical presence in the region.

An immediately available site with large halls adapted to GAUSSIN products, perfectly equipped with lifting equipment, industrial facilities and testing grounds This new site in Saint Vallier is located in an area where the GAUSSIN group is already established.

GAUSSIN, via its subsidiary METALLIANCE (see press release of 24 June 2021), has created two assembly lines for ATM® and APM® vehicles in this town in the Saône-et-Loire region, partly located in 8,000 square meters of industrial premises which are currently being renovated by the Creusot Montceau Urban Community.

Immediately available, and previously in the hands of the American material handling group TEREX, then the Scandinavian group KONECRANES, which closed it in March 2021, this new site does not require a building permit and already has the necessary infrastructure.

The SEMCIB (Société D’économie Mixte Pour La Coopération Industrielle En Bourgogne) is the owner-lessor.

A change of dimension for GAUSSIN which signed MPAs (Masters Purchase Agreements) at the end of 2021 The site will be able to accommodate 8 production lines, each capable of manufacturing 200 vehicles, for a total capacity of 1,600 vehicles per year.

This will bring the total capacity to 2,400 vehicles per year. In the immediate future, it will allow the production of 400 additional vehicles per year and will make it possible to meet the contracts signed with the world leaders in e-commerce, transport and logistics.

Christophe Gaussin, CEO of GAUSSIN, said:

The acquisition of this new site is excellent news which reflects GAUSSIN’s growing strength and change of dimension.

“It will enable us to cope with the strong growth of the market, and in particular with the demand from major retail and e-commerce players in Europe and North America for our ATM and APM vehicles,”
