Germeau Carrière

To celebrate its 70th Birthday, GERMEAU-CARRIERE has decided to update its website.

Little by little, GERMEAU-CARRIERE has widened its range of activities. At the beginning, the main service provided by the company was the selling of ladders. Now we provide a much larger range of services: SALES, RENTALS, SPECIAL MANUFACTURING.

GERMEAU-CARRIERE is keen on extending its sales service towards export. We are currently dealing with Albania, Cameroun, Congo, France, Italy, Marocco, Spain,... Our wish is to export our know-how and product range, which meets international norms.

GERMEAU-CARRIERE is also willing to extend its rental service towards neighbouring countries. Our achievements on building sites such as the Liège Guillemins train station, the BUDA bridge in Brussels and the Inter-Allied Memorial in Liège are a guarantee of our competence for large-scale building projects.

Today, our company already plays a part in the international market. However, we would like to increase our visibility and show our qualities thanks to our website.

We would like to export our material: ladders, scaffolding, material hoists, material handling as well as our know-how in special manufacturing in aluminium. It is our desire to offer our knowledge in setting up scaffolding and possibly offer trainings for people who buy our material (we have organized trainings in Africa in the past).

The GERMEAU-CARRIERE team is here to help you achieve all your work at a height.
