Project

One of our customers, a manufacturer of passenger buses and motor homes, decided to replace the ferries in its passenger bus assembly plant. These emblematic pieces of equipment enable a vehicle to be moved from one assembly station to another.

 

Challenge: The equipment had been in service since the early 1980s and had reached the end of its useful life.

 

Need: Our customer wanted to work with Merkur. They were looking for a partner with the technical skills in mechanical, electrical and automation engineering, but also with the ability to take the lead in rallying stakeholders and ensuring the success of the project.
" This project demonstrates our commitment at Merkur to offering tailor-made solutions to our customers. Our collaborative approach enabled smooth communication and total adaptation to their preferences, guaranteeing optimal project success! "
