Faun lays the foundation stone of its future Brittany Service Centre in Landivisiau (29)

This new facility represents a major step in FAUN's development in Brittany and illustrates the ambition of the only French designer of refuse collection vehicles boasting 100% integrated manufacturing to strengthen the proximity and responsiveness of its services to local authorities and urban waste management operators. It should be noted that FAUN already operates 9 Service Centers across France.

The search for a site in Brittany, initiated many years ago, has led to the identification of a particularly strategic location. Situated on the D69, with direct access to the N12 linking Brest to Rennes, the FAUN Service Center benefits from an ideal position to efficiently serve the areas of Brest, Landerneau, Morlaix, Guingamp, Saint-Brieuc, and Lamballe. This presence will also facilitate support for numerous clients located in departments 22, 29, 35, 50, and 56, including COVED/PAPREC, Veolia, the Lannion-Trégor Agglomeration Community, Lorient Agglomeration, Brest Métropole, the Pays d'Iroise, the Crozon Peninsula Community of Municipalities, as well as several regional companies.

Fully in line with FAUN's industrial dynamics and reflecting a strong commitment to local employment, FAUN Services Bretagne will initially have five employees: a Service Centre Manager, a workshop electrotechnician, two multi-skilled boilermakers and a traveling technician.

Designed to optimize equipment availability, the site will house approximately 1.200 items in stock and will be equipped with an overhead crane for heavy-duty tipper truck work, welding stations, a stacker, a telescopic handler, and all the necessary equipment for maintaining vehicles in operational condition. The 825 m² workshop building, situated on a 4.804 m² plot, will offer six meters of clearance under the roof structure, allowing work on four vehicles simultaneously. A complete welding fume extraction and treatment system will ensure a working environment that meets technical and environmental requirements.

In line with FAUN's commitment to responsible resource management, this project includes rainwater harvesting for use in the wash area and green spaces, the installation of photovoltaic panels covering 38,7% of the roof area, and the installation of two electric vehicle charging stations for trucks and cars. A fleet of approximately five FAUN refuse collection vehicles will also be available on-site, enhancing the Service Center's ability to respond to both occasional needs and emergency repairs.

For Étienne Blaise: « This project marks a key step forward in structuring the FAUN network in Brittany. The goal is to offer local authorities and waste management companies a local service based on responsiveness, availability, and equipment durability. The Landivisiau site illustrates FAUN's commitment to supporting local communities with modern, high-performance, and future-proof infrastructure. »

This new Service Center confirms FAUN's momentum and demonstrates its commitment to providing users with an optimal level of service, based on high-performance equipment and proximity. It should be noted that this will, in fact, generate a significant reduction in FAUN customers' carbon footprint.
