Since 1939<\/h3>\n\n

Founding and progress<\/h2>\n\n\n

Our story began in 1939, when Nestor Schoonbroodt and his cousin launched a heavy vehicle mechanics business. In the 1960s, Nestor Schoonbroodt Jr. steered the company towards oil hydraulics, covering hoses, cylinders, and small systems. In 1982, the third generation, led by Philippe Schoonbroodt, successfully refocused our activities on cylinder repair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2014<\/h3>\n\n

New chapter<\/h2>\n\n\n

In 2014, Michel Dethier, an employee with over 30 years of experience, took over the company, succeeding Philippe Schoonbroodt. This new leadership continues to grow our operations while honouring the founding values handed down through three generations: quality, responsiveness, and service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
