Platform for end-to-end configure-to-order process
Heavyweight specialist makes it easy with CIM Database: Faymonville develops much more efficiently with CIM Database
- Special vehicles for heavy-duty and special transportation
- Over 1,300 employees (2023)
- €402 million in sales (2022)
Faymonville AG, headquartered in Luxembourg, develops and manufactures customized transport solutions that go beyond the usual standards. The semi low-loaders, low-loaders, modular vehicles and self-propelled modular transporters it produces can transport anything that is abnormally heavy, long, wide or high. The specialist has been using CIM Database for the development of its heavyweight solutions since 2014 and thus consistently maps the configure-to-order processes in addition to the existing engineer-to-order processes. CONTACT's PLM solution enables accelerated order processing, significant cost reductions and better control of variant diversity with central software modules such as xBOM Manager and a highly efficient overall solution.
