MB Groupe

What MB Groupe does

MB Groupe is a privately held Belgian industrial services group headquartered in Thimister-Clermont, operating across five interconnected divisions: MB Transports (fleet of 55 vehicles for exceptional, distribution, machinery transport and on-site glass installation), MB Manutention (lifting and handling with telescopic cranes up to 300 T/m, electric mini-cranes, and Spierings SK1265 AT6 eLift mobile tower cranes), MB Logistique (10,000+ m² of secured storage, 1-32+ tonne lifting, order preparation and packaging), MB Tôlage (rental of 50,000+ steel plates, 500 synthetic plates, 1,000 draglines, and SignaRoad composite interlocking plates), and MB Solutions (created in 2023 for energy-sector deconstruction including high-voltage pylon dismantling). The group also runs MB Trading, an online platform for resale of used fleet equipment. Its proprietary and differentiated equipment includes the VE07 VENTOUSE ROBOT 3D glass-lifting suction robot (800 kg capacity) and SignaRoad composite plates (first deployed in Belgium in 2026 via partnership with Signature Systems, capacity up to 280 tonnes/m²).

The company serves enterprise clients in the energy, industrial, construction/infrastructure, and events sectors across Belgium, primarily in Wallonia and the Liège region, with named customers including Newelec (Groupe Luminus, 15-year relationship), Viessmann, Optim Engineering, Challenge Handling (Liège Airport), and Rutten S.A. MB Groupe is VCA* certified for contractor safety compliance. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing for industrial projects. Revenue is generated through professional-services contracts (transport, lifting, logistics, ground protection, deconstruction) supplemented by one-time equipment sales via MB Trading. Ownership is private and undisclosed, with no institutional investors or funding rounds documented in the source data.

Business model is asset-heavy industrial services with cross-divisional synergy: MB Manutention's cranes support MB Transports' loading/unloading, MB Tôlage's plates enable site access for all divisions, and MB Solutions draws on equipment from sibling divisions for deconstruction projects. The group has been operating for over 40 years, with the most recent strategic actions including fleet expansion (two additional Spierings electric cranes committed July 2026) and product launches (SignaRoad plates June 2026) executed without external funding.
