Founded in 1921, the Lyon-based company designs, manufactures and distributes a wide range of hydraulic breakers and rock drilling solutions from its production facilities in Saint-Priest, serving customers across international construction, mining and demolition markets.

Throughout its history, Montabert has played a key role in the development of hydraulic technology for the sector.

It introduced the first hydraulic breaker with accumulator technology in 1969 and later developed several industry-first innovations, including hydraulic drifters and variable energy hydraulic breakers.

Today, Montabert continues to focus on advanced engineering and product innovation, filing several patents every year and developing technologies aimed at improving productivity, operational efficiency and equipment durability.

The company’s approach combines industrial heritage with ongoing technological development, maintaining manufacturing operations in France while expanding its international presence within the demolition, quarrying and mining sectors.

Earlier this month, global sustainability consultancy ERM also joined the EDA.
