The Manitou Group's new Training Center was inaugurated recently at their Ancenis site in France.

The company say this new structure offers a training environment specifically designed for the machines' clearance that will more effectively address dealers' growing demand for training.

This site, which spans 1,600 m², offers four 200 to 300 m² sized workshops. This new infrastructure addresses needs relating to machine dimension, especially height. The design of this infrastructure is based on the proximity of the training rooms to the workshops, thereby reducing travel time and improving the technicians' productivity during the various training sessions. 

The Training Center is also equipped with three distance learning rooms and a recording studio.

Maxime Deroch, President of the Services & Solutions Division for Manitou Group said, "It is critical to continuously adapt to train our technicians who maintain or repair our products all over the world. This investment is part of a broader vision, with the deployment of dedicated trainers in our subsidiaries. We also launched a Learning Management Software, which will make it possible to monitor the level and needs of our customers more closely, and increasingly effective diagnostic tools in relation to our connected machines.

"Thanks to this quality training, our teams, our dealers, and our key accounts have all of the knowledge they need to fully meet the expectations of our users."
