A family business
with a wealth of experience in industrial vehicle bodywork

For several decades, CORNUT worked directly with all leading truck manufacturers and thus gained indepth knowledge of different vehicle ranges. Building on its skills and expertise in the world of transport, CORNUT began to shift its activity towards industrial bodywork.

In the 1990s, the company broadened its scope of action by designing and manufacturing its own range of hydraulic arms: DYNAMIC’S. With the launch of this range of equipment, the company became both a body fitter and manufacturer for heavy duty trucks and light duty vehicles.

 

Today, we have become a major player in industrial bodywork, offering a wide range of equipment (hydraulic hooklifts, cranes, dump bodies, trailers, etc.) and representing major equipment manufacturers. We perform different types of adaptation work: chassis modifications, fitting out of special vehicles (slow moving, exceptional transport, etc.), and also distribute unloading and technical equipment.

Thanks to our subsidiary CORNUT Service, located in La Fouillouse (Loire), we aim to be close to our customers and develop a responsive, quality after-sales service.
