1953<\/h2><\/div>

Prodex company was created in 1953 in Paris. It was decided to acquire the industrial site of Saint Hilaire (45) at the end of the 1950’s in order to manufacture metallic shelvings for shops and retails.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

1978<\/h2><\/div>

The PRODEX teams decide to follow the market evolution and to orient the company toward a new concept, the “dynamic storage”<\/b>.<\/p>\n

PRODEX diversifies in order to respond to the arrival of the “logistics centers”; and the boom of the mass distribution.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

1995<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

Production is transferred to another factory – the company moves to Mordelles (35) in Brittany.
Takeover of PRODEX by the SAVOYE Group.
PRODEX extends its range to meet global customer demand and offers a complete range of logistics equipment<\/b>.
PRODEX then launched into the manufacture of dynamic storage units for \u2018order preparation\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>

2010<\/h2><\/div>

In 2010, PRODEX moves to the current production site in Bourgbarr\u00e9 (35), France. The installation on a modern and spacious site (2600 m2) with a land reserve of more than 3.5 ha, enables to consider future developments. The location near the Rennes-Angers axis provides flexibility for shippings.<\/p>\n

At the same time, PRODEX is developing industrial conveyors to move goods from envelopes to pallets, ergonomic picking units and drawer racking.<\/p>\n

2020<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

In 2020, PRODEX was acquired by entrepreneur David Petit-Rouv\u00e8s, who now runs MAVIPAL<\/a><\/b>. He is thus pursuing his development strategy. <\/p>\n

Two very complementary activities, both companies being specialized in storage solutions<\/b>.<\/p>\n

MAVIPAL is mainly active with industrialists, SMBs and large groups, for example in aeronautics, food industry or to equip warehouses and shop reserves in supermarkets.<\/p>\n

With the acquisition of PRODEX, its field of activity opens up more directly to players in logistics and industrial logistics, and with their commercial and operational complementarity, the two companies have a fairly similar profile: years of experience, turnover, organisation, production in France, integrated design office, internal assembly teams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

With over 70 years’ expertise in the manufacture, design and installation of dynamic storage systems<\/b> for heavy and light loads, PRODEX is providing MAVIPAL with a real boost, and MAVIPAL is giving PRODEX a national reach.
By sharing their know-how, the PRODEX and MAVIPAL teams are mutually reinforcing their expertise.<\/p>\n

The objective? To adapt more and more to your needs and offer a complete range of logistics solutions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"DPA<\/div><\/div>

2021<\/h2><\/div>

Creation of DPA Global Solutions<\/b> at the PRODEX site (35) in June 2021. This company specialised in the design of industrial automation solutions<\/b> aims to support PRODEX in the piloting and control techniques of the mechanical systems it designs and manufactures.<\/p>\n

This structure, the result of a partnership with DPA<\/a> in Quetigny (21), incorporates the latter’s know-how and experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

2022 marks the birth of the family-owned group MAVENTIS<\/a><\/b>group, which continues to grow with the acquisition of LAVAYSSIERE<\/a><\/b>a specialist in machine tool casing and sheet metal subcontracting. In 2024, DPA<\/a><\/b> in Quetigny (21) joins the group and merges with DPA Global Solutions. <\/p>\n

MAVENTIS is now the standard-bearer for the Group’s expertise in serving industry.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
