The company has a long history of restructuring: In December 2009 the company - a subsidiary of the German Trailer holding GmbH - was declared bankrupt. It was taken over by a new French owner who reduced its workforce in January 2010 by 114.

It was 8 at the bottom of the crisis. The manager expects more orders in the next two to three years coming from customers who had delayed their renewal of their trailers fleet.
