Fayat also highlighted the construction industry giant’s continuing machine innovation and growing number of commercial subsidiaries, most recently including the launch of Fayat-Bomag Russia, Fayat-172 Bomag Polska, 273 Marini Turkey, and Marini India.

As an employer of 18,000 staff with latest annual turnover hitting €32bn, Fayat sales and marketing manager Jacques Bonvallet said the Group had also been keen to focus on its internal development.

“There has been a significant increase in the size of our factories in Shanghai and Beijing. We are also studying the possibility of opening a new factory in India,” said Bonvallet.
