The inauguration of Lumiplan’s new development and production center for passenger information solutions in Grenoble is the only French manufacturing site for onboard display units and destination signs for buses, coaches and tramways.
This inauguration marks the culmination of a long 15-year cycle that has seen the Lumiplan group realize its vision, which at the time of the Duhamel acquisition in 2009 was to reposition the Lumiplan Duhamel business as the benchmark for onboard passenger information solutions for public transport, by manufacturing in France.
Today, Lumiplan is number 1 in France and Europe for passenger information solutions, and the only French manufacturer.
More than 80% of the 50 largest public transport networks in France are equipped with Lumiplan’s passenger information solutions, and 50% of all information displays are Lumiplan displays.
The new site will increase production capacity by 40%.
Henry Gaillard, President of Lumiplan, commented: “This new development and production center is the symbol of our ambition to continue to grow strongly in France and internationally. We are convinced that “Made in France” can establish itself as an industrial benchmark and contribute to the development of our regions by creating jobs for their citizens.
