Levage Manutention Formation (LMF), a training organization specialized in the operation of lifting and handling equipment, has sold 100% of its share capital to Socotec. With this acquisition, SOCOTEC has strengthened its technical training offering in the Paris region, and reinforced its ambition to become one of France's leading providers of technical and regulatory training.

SOCOTEC's CACES® construction machinery training offer is recognized throughout France, and reinforces the company's already renowned technical expertise.
