EXPORT
Over the years, FM TANK has developed its international activity by relying on the other FRANCEMETAL group departments.
The location of its production unit based in Portugal is strategic in terms of logistics in particular, making it possible to open up North and West Africa thanks to the shipping routes.
Its two other units, based in the north and south of France, make it easier to serve the entire European market.
Whether for production, transport or assembly, our strategic location allows us to have a strong export presence and a very high level of responsiveness for our customers.
