MARREL AT ITS BEGINNINGS
AN INVENTIVE SPIRIT
Innovation and Globalization are the core of our strategy.
FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS NOW, INNOVATION HAS BEEN PART OF MARREL’S DNA. OUR GOAL IS TO IMPLEMENT OUR CREATIVITY BY CONTINIOUSLY IMPROVING OUR PRODUCTS TO BE USED ALL ACROSS THE WORLD.
With a plant of close to 30,000 m² and a capacity constantly growing for over 10 years now, our crew works inexhaustibly to meet the demands of the continuously changing international markets. Our main product, the Ampliroll® hooklift, has become a worldwide benchmark, both in the civilian sector (environment, construction, local authorities, etc.) and in the military sector (logistics), thanks to a highly motivated distribution network and the right match of the Marrel products to the customer expectations. The coming years and the opportunities they bring are a challenge for Marrel and we are committed to take up this alluring challenge.

MARREL, PART OF THE FASSI GROUP
A NEW DIMENSION
With Marrel, the FASSI Group gains global benchmark status in hydraulic lifting
THE FASSI GROUP WAS ALREADY A WORLD LEADER IN LOADER CRANES FOR INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES, WITH A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE CRANES.
It therefore made sense to extend the Group's product portfolio aimed at an even greater competitive edge. The merger with Marrel came about quite naturally. We knew how popular their products were in terms of reliability and performance, particularly the Ampliroll® hooklift. We share the same culture of innovation, the same industrial know-how and the same high quality standards. The synergies promptly came to light: forming a multi-product, multi-sector group and exporting the Marrel expertise on the global stage through our worldwide network. Collectively, we are fully geared to secure our high flying position in the lifting industry and recycling.

And the long-term careers of the employees within the company vouches for this. Sometimes even 2 generations of employees: father & son, work together in the company!
Marrel is very eager to create a pleasant and stimulating workplace for its employees…and this is paid back in loyalty worth underlined as a rare thing in the industrial world!
