FB Chaînes launches in France
A new member of the FB Group of materials handling chain companies has opened for business. From now on FB Chaînes will supply conveyor chain, roller chain, leaf chain and associated parts, as well as application advice, installation and servicing, to customers throughout France. Unlike the rest of the group, FB Chaînes, will not have any manufacturing operations.
Over its 145-year history the FB Group has grown from a small factory near Stockholm/Sweden to an influential player in the materials handling chain industry with subsidiaries in six countries – Sweden, Norway, Finland, UK, Austria and Germany – and distributors in several more. In recent years the French market was served by distributor Issner Industrie – France’s leading sawmill machinery specialist, but now Issner has agreed with the FB Group’s parent company Addtech to create and manage FB Chaînes in Sierentz, Alsace. This new company will supply the FB Group’s full range of products to the materials handling and process industries in France.
