Liderkit on the road: France

10 Aug 2016 | Liderkit on the road, News

The neighbouring country joins to our section ‘Liderkit on the road’ to describe the experience as a veteran customer through an interview with Arnaud Brevet, representative of Carrosserie Industrielle Prevost in France.

Especially France was one of the first countries, after Portugal and Germany, which Liderkit started operating abroad with; although it reached other continents soon. In this regard, more than fifteen years endorse the relationship between Liderkit and French transport companies. The French business network continues demanding products from the Andalusian company, due to elegance of the product and light materials. This allows increasing weight to be transported keeping the minimum payload for the vehicles in 3.5 tones.

Below, Arnaud Brevet, from Carrosserie Industrielle Prevost, answers our questions:

Question: What kinds of products are supplied by Liderkit?

Answer: Mainly those for dry freight, that is, for transport where refrigeration is not needed. These kits are easier to transport and stand the test of time better.

Q: According to market demand, what kinds of products are more successful in France? and why?

A: Aluminium and plywood, due to lightness and resistance respectively. The first one is much lighter and easier to assemble, whereas the second one holds weight better. Both are very valuable features in demand of these products. This means the more resistance and lightness, the bigger load we can carry in the bodies, which is the most interesting thing for our customers.

Q: Which is the strength of Liderkit from your point of view as a customer and experienced user?

A:Although the most important thing is to avoid damages to the load during transport, from Carrosserie Industrielle Prevost we pay special attention to image. For this reason, aesthetical features offered by Liderkit are also a key point to take into account when choosing the product.

Q: Regarding competitors in France, what do Liderkit bodies stand out for?

A: As I mentioned before, aesthetics. Liderkit offers smooth faces in panels, whilst our direct competitors in this country work with riveted sheets, that is, rivets and bolts are visible from outside. We look for a good finish, as a good image and appearance always leads to the best presence in the market.
