The SEFAC company, based in Monthermé in the Ardennes, has for 45 years specialised in the conception, manufacturing and distribution of mobile column lifts and maintenance equipment for heavy duty workshops. The name ‘SEFAC’ is derived from “Société d'Estampage et de Forge Ardennes Champagne” created in 1884 by Emile DESPAS. The "lifting" activity was launched by the end of the 60’s and required a few years of development before the first sales at the very beginning of the 70’s.

Currently, SEFAC represents 22,000 customers and over 65,000 heavy duty mobile column lifts in operation throughout the world. It is present worldwide through 3 main subsidiaries (Spain, Great Britain and the United States) and a network of 30 sole agents. Thanks to this distribution network, the company exports every year more than 50% of its production.

SEFAC is the only French manufacturer of mobile columns dedicated to the lifting of road heavy vehicles (buses, coaches, trucks, etc.) and railway vehicles (trains, tramways, subways). The design and the production are totally integrated. Thanks to a 1.5 million euro investment this year at its headquarter in Monthermé, the company keeps promoting a French manufacturing. Every day, the SEFAC mobile columns lift more than 1,000 trains in the world to facilitate their maintenance.

To pursue its development, SEFAC launches its Facebook page: facebook.com/sefac.sa
