TUBESCA COMABI

TUBESCA-COMABI is the result of a successful merger in 2000 between TUBESCA, a specialist in ladders, steps, individual platforms and aluminium rolling scaffolding, and COMABI, a specialist in fixed scaffolding, steel rolling scaffolding, material lifts and site boxes, which came together in 2012 to form the leader in platforms for working at height. Tubesca was really born in 1954, but the company had its origins in a Neuilly sur Seine business set up in 1935, which had anticipated the end of wooden work tools for working at heights with the victory of light, strong steel. At the same time, in 1962, Gaston Cavaillon decided to use crimping technology - the process of joining two metal tubes together without welding - and apply it to aluminium to build ladders. He went on to found COMABI. The two companies went from strength to strength, with international expansion and patents (the first fibreglass ladders, the first NF-certified ATLAS aluminium scaffolding). Eventually, the two companies merged and joined the Franco-German Zarges Tubesca Group. The group has offices in Ailly-sur-Noye and Trévoux, and generates sales of over €331 million.
