Forez-Bennes Subsidiary
A brand that preserves its local roots while embracing new development opportunities
50 years of experience
For over 50 years, Forez-Bennes has established itself as a leading French player in the design and manufacture of bespoke tipper bodies.
A team of experts at your service
The company relies on a structured organisation, bringing together all the skills required to design, manufacture and support each tipper body throughout its life cycle.
Our workshops, spread across two production sites, bring together more than 70 employees. Fitters-welders, shot-blasters and engineers work together with a shared objective: customer satisfaction, finished product quality and teamwork.
These operational teams are supported by essential support functions (HR, finance, marketing, etc.).
Made in Forez-Bennes !
Proud of our local production! Our rigorous working process guarantees a finished product that meets the highest expectations.
Our design office and R&D department develop high-performance solutions tailored to real-world requirements every day. Their mission: to translate industry needs into concrete innovations that ensure robustness, durability and safety.
All our tipper bodies are manufactured in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, at our sites in Champdieu and Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise. We have all the necessary technical resources, covered workshops and specialised machinery, to produce tipper bodies fully compliant with the plans developed by our design office.
We are fully committed to product quality, placing robustness, durability and compliance at the heart of our approach. Should any unforeseen issue arise, our customers benefit from comprehensive and responsive support directly from Forez-Bennes and through the national FASSI France network of industrial bodywork centres, present throughout the country to provide maintenance, breakdown assistance and spare parts supply.

It all began in the Forez region…
Creation of Forez-Bennes in Champdieu, near Montbrison
Forez-Bennes was founded in 1969 to meet the needs of local professionals and quickly became a recognised player for the quality of its tipper bodies and its commitment to service.
Creation of a new manufacturing site in the Rhône
The company’s development continued with the creation of a second manufacturing workshop in Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise (69), strengthening our production capacity.
ROC-LINE® patent
A major step forward in innovation was achieved in 2001 with the launch and patenting of the ROC-LINE® project (half-pipe tipper body). The ROC-LINE® tipper body remains one of the flagship products in our catalogue today.
