What BERROYER does

BERROYER is a French industrial-vehicle company founded approximately 50 years ago (circa 1974) and headquartered in Châtellerault. The company designs, sells, rents, and maintains trailers and semi-trailers for industrial transport applications, operating four regional agencies across France (Centre, Ouest, Paris IDF, Bretagne). It is registered as a privately held SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €260,000 in share capital and no parent company or external investment disclosed.

The business combines authorized distribution of premium European trailer brands — Faymonville, Knapen, Max Trailer, Schwarzmuller, TISVOL, Cometto, De Buf, Schwarte, Kempf, Tecnokar, Tr'ax, and ECIM — with proprietary custom bodywork through its UTAC-approved BERROYER Carrosserie division and a used-vehicle arm called Trucks & Trailers Trading. The product portfolio spans equipment carriers, steel and aluminum tippers, moving-floor trailers (FMA), curtain-siders and box trailers, flatbeds, container carriers, swap-body carriers, stainless-steel tankers, concrete mixers, grain trailers, recycling carriers, and self-propelled modular vehicles (SPMTs) capable of loads up to 15,000 tonnes, covering exceptional transport solutions from 20t to 500t.

Revenue is generated through three channels: one-time sales of new semi-trailers and trailers (single largest stream), one-time sales of used vehicles via Trucks & Trailers Trading, and recurring rental income from short- and long-term leases of semi-trailers, road tractors, and rigid trucks. Professional services — repair, maintenance, spare parts, registration, and custom bodywork — provide an additional recurring layer across the vehicle lifecycle. Customers span construction and civil engineering firms, equipment and machinery transporters, logistics fleet operators, agricultural cooperatives and biogas producers, and concrete plants, with sales conducted primarily via direct field engagement through the regional agency network.
