Socage India

Socage has acquired full ownership of its joint venture operation in India – Macons Socage – which becomes Socage India.

The joint venture with the Macons Equipments group, which produces concrete plants and loader cranes was set up in 2016 and is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, north of Mumbai. It has part manufactured and mounted some of the smaller products from Socage’s truck mounted lift range, while selling larger models and, more recently, spider lifts built entirely in Italy.

Socage said: “The Joint venture business was a fundamental step in our development in India, and enabled us to progressively establish the brand in India and to build solid industrial and commercial foundations. This milestone is an important step in our international expansion strategy, which aims to strengthen our direct presence in markets with the highest growth potential.”

“Through our 10 year partnership, we developed knowledge of the local market, strengthened our operational capabilities and consolidated our presence in a strategically important region. Socage would like to express its sincere appreciation to the Macons group for the collaboration developed over the years, a partnership defined by professionalism, industrial vision, and mutual trust. The contribution of Macons has been instrumental in supporting the company ‘s growth and in creating the conditions for this new phase of development.”

“Under the new corporate structure, Socage India will play a central role in the group’s international strategy, coming a major production and operational subsidiary. Significant investments are planned, including the construction of a new manufacturing facility, which will further strengthen local production capacity and support the group’s medium to long term growth plans, serving the local market more effectively along with the entire Asian region, confirming India as a strategic industrial and logistics hub for the Socage group.
