Two complementary areas of expertise combined to deliver mobile solutions

‍

The merger between LocaCuisines and SERT is based on the natural complementarity of their businesses and markets.

On the one hand, LocaCuisines brings its expertise in the rental, operation, and maintenance of modular kitchens and professional equipment. On the other hand, SERT brings its industrial know-how in the design and manufacture of modular and mobile solutions.

This synergy strengthens our offering, which now covers the entire value chain: from design and manufacturing to leasing, operation, and maintenance.

It also opens up new opportunities for the restaurant, event planning, hospitality, and public sector industries, while strengthening the group's capabilities in the fields of defense and civil security.
