Specialised workshops for a high-performance manufacturing process

 

Since the manufacture of carbon masts requires many hours of entirely manual labor, the factory is equipped with:

  • a laminating room
  • an assembly workshop
  • a sanding booth
  • a machining workshop
  • a hardware workshop
  • a design office

International presence

The Axxon factory also stands out for its logistical capabilities, which enable it to deliver its carbon masts throughout Europe.

Axxon can also rely on the Wichard Group and its subsidiaries in the United States and Australia for both technical and logistical support.

To ensure flexibility and reliability in deliveries across Europe, AXXON has its own transportation fleet:

 

  • a truck with a trailer for transporting masts up to 50 m
  • a pickup truck with a trailer for transporting masts up to 22 m

Deliveries can also be carried out by sea.

These resources enable us to effectively meet the needs of shipyards, manufacturers, and industrial customers worldwide.
