New Tadano sales manager for France

Frédéric Valentin has joined the Tadano France team as sales manager. He brings more than twenty years of experience in business development, lifting equipment, and industrial markets to his new role.

Prior to joining Tadano, Frédéric built his career within leading industrial organizations, including the ArcelorMittal Group and the Axel Johnson Group. Over several years, he held branch manager positions with responsibility for both commercial and operational activities. In these roles, he managed multidisciplinary teams and supported demanding professional customers across a broad range of industrial sectors.

Throughout his career, Frédéric has developed extensive expertise in lifting equipment and related applications. In particular, he gained in-depth knowledge of steel wire ropes used in crane operations, as well as the technical, regulatory, and safety requirements associated with these applications. His combination of commercial experience and technical understanding enables him to work closely with customers and provide practical solutions tailored to their operational needs.

“We are delighted to welcome Frédéric Valentin to the Tadano team,” said Jean-Marie Grossmann, business leader for Tadano France. “His extensive experience in the lifting industry, combined with his strong customer orientation and technical expertise, make him a valuable addition to our organization. We are confident that he will further strengthen our relationships with customers and contribute significantly to our continued growth in the French market.”

Frédéric Valentin is equally enthusiastic about his new role: “Tadano is a company with a strong reputation for quality, innovation, and customer support. Its products offer customers reliable and efficient solutions for a wide range of lifting applications. I am excited to join the team and look forward to working closely with our customers and colleagues to help drive their success and contribute to Tadano’s development in France.”
