TOUAX wins several contracts to supply modular buildings to AIRBUS
TOUAX announces that it has reached an agreement with Airbus, a subsidiary of the EADS Group, concerning several lease and sale agreements for modular buildings, mainly in connection with the development of the Airbus A350.
These orders concern the installation and delivery of over 11,000m² on several sites. They comprise 10 buildings for use as staff offices, site accommodation for external contractors and a departure lounge.
Airbus required functional and aesthetic buildings that met all of the standards of traditional buildings. TOUAX was successful thanks to its responsiveness and the performance of its solutions, the challenge being to delivery permanent and temporary buildings with different technical characteristics, within very short time limits.
TOUAX's Modular Solutions division has focused on the sale of modular buildings for several years and these contracts confirm that the solutions offered by TOUAX meet the requirements of major international players. According to Christophe Boustouller, Managing Director of the Modular Solutions division, "this successful approach confirms the unique positioning of TOUAX, which is able to support its customers throughout the world and in particular in the case of EADS, on several European sites".
The TOUAX Group provides its operational leasing services to a global customer base, both for its own account and on behalf of investors. TOUAX is the European leader in shipping containers and river barges, and no. 2 in modular buildings and freight railcars (intermodal railcars). TOUAX is well positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth in corporate outsourcing of nonstrategic assets and offers efficient and flexible leasing solutions to more than 5,000 customers daily.
TOUAX is listed in Paris on NYSE EURONEXT - Euronext Paris Compartment C (Code ISIN FR0000033003) and on the CAC® Small and CAC® Mid & Small indexes.
