PRODUCTION TO THE MAXNEW PLANT IN POLANDObjective: Build 350 semi-trailerchassis by year-endInitially a small ironworks business in the 1960s, Faymonville hasconstantly gone from strength to strength, finally becoming the leadingBelgian manufacturer of specialist semi-trailers. Another milestone in thisdevelopment: the start-up in late April of a new production plant in Poland.For several years now, Faymonville stands for anexpertise in building semi-trailers that has been sellingthroughout Europe, with emerging markets towardsEastern Europe in particular, where sales are onthe up and up. As a result, a production plantin Poland has recently been added to theBelgian facility (Büllingen) and the plant inLuxembourg (Lentzweiler). “We are currently carryingout metallic construction work there,” explainsYves Faymonville. “In other words, all the sheet metalwork. We therefore have the cutting equipment, alaser, and a brake press at the facility. The chassisassembly work, including welding, is also carriedout in Poland. However, the remaining stages of thebuilding process, i.e. shot blasting and finishingwork on the semi-trailer, are still taking placein the Luxembourg plant. As a matter of fact,transhipments are organised twice a week betweenthe two facilities.”Plans to increase staffingand productionThis provides Faymonville with a great vantagepointto offer its products and services to Eastern Europeancountries, a market that the Group is keen tofurther develop. “The choice of Poland as the countryin which to set up our new facility was based amongother things on the quality of the staff we can hirethere,” explains Yves Faymonville. “This country is fullof excellent welders. In addition, since we no longerhave to worry about clearing customs now that Polandis a Member State of the European Union, having aproduction unit in Poland is not an issue. All the moresince our new plant is only 850 kilometres away. »With a floor area of 5000 m 2 , Faymonville is able toproduce one semi-trailer chassis each day in this plant.The staff includes around twenty workers under themanagement of a foreman who has previously attendedan eight-month training course in Belgium.“The staff number will rise to approximately fifty byyear-end, in order to be able to reach our target,which is to turn out 350 semi-trailer chassis from thePolish plant each year,” concludes Yves Faymonville.FAYMONVILLE POLSKAPL-72-100 GoleniowTel. : 0048/(0)91 43 21 730Fax : 0048/(0)91 43 21 731Floor area: 5000 m 2Number of staff: 20 workersProduction: more than onesemi-trailer chassis per dayP. 08
