Teupen widens French distribution

France-based Groupe Tilly has signed a distribution deal with Teupen to represent its tracked platforms.

The contract covers the east of France (Alsace, Lorraine, Bourgogne and Franche Comté), as well as Luxembourg, with the pair of companies first making an appearance together in April at during Intermat in Paris.

Marc Valtel, sales manager for Teupen in France, said Groupe Tilly’s leading market position as a heavy equipment distributor would be of great benefit to Teupen. “This partnership will strengthen our position in the French market and give us an even better ability to service customers with their after sales needs”.

Group Tilly focuses on the east of France with 70 years’ experience. It represents heavy brands like Manitou, Toyota, Liebherr, Belle, Hamm and Voegele. Pierre Tilly, general manager and CEO of Groupe Tilly, added, “With the brands we represent we only offer the highest possible level of quality and the most innovative technology.

“After my first visit with Teupen in 2014 I was impressed with the versatility of Teupen´s Leo series but also with the high standards the company has for quality and safety. I am convinced that both organisations will create a successful partnership.”
