German vacuum handling and crane company Uplifter - the European master distributor for Chinese built SPT spider cranes for parts of Europe - has appointed Labrosse & You as its partner in France.
The partnership kicked off with a training and induction visit from Uplifter key account manager Lukasz Krycia and service technician Patrick plus Steve Collie and David Urso from Heli, the Uplifter distributor for Belgium and the Netherlands.
Training and induction underway
Labrosse & You was established in 1977 by Guy Labrosse and is based in Saint-Péray on the west side of Valance roughly halfway between Lyon and Avignon. It operates sales, service and forklift rental from a further five branches in Albon - between Valence and Lyons, Piolenc and Châteauneuf-du-Rhône - which are both between Avignon and Valence, Cavaillon on the south east side of Avignon and Villeneuve between Avignon and Nice.
The company is a major distributor for Fenwick Fenwick-linde forklifts across Drôme, Ardèche, Vaucluse and Alpes de Haute Provence, but also offers Faresin and Magni telehandlers, Oil & Steel platforms, JMG pick & carry cranes, XCMG mini excavators, scissor lifts and other products and now SPT/Uplifter. In all it has 170 employees.

Thank you very much for your trust in Uplifter machines, your hospitality and the pleasant stay. Here's to a first-class collaboration."
