MERGER, a story and a group

Inventing the industrial transmissions of tomorrow

MERGER has been developing its expertise since 1947. During the post-war boom, the company grew rapidly and manufactured hundreds of thousands of transmission components , including geared motors, speed reducers , speed multipliers , right-angle drives , and industrial gearboxes.

In the 90s, the company refocused its efforts on high value -added applications such as nuclear , steel , and maritime industries . Following a strategy of synergy, the LEGOFF Group acquired MERGER in 2014 to complement its expertise in the manufacturing , remanufacturing , and maintenance of high-power speed reducers.

A latest generation factory

In 2022, MERGER aims to establish itself within a framework of high -quality French mechanical expertise . We are equipping ourselves with an independent production facility in Corbas ( 69 ):

An optimized production unit that is part of the National Low Carbon Strategy:

– Installation of lifting gantries and tables at workstations, bright 2,000 m² workshops, optimization of storage and logistics of mechanical components.

– Heavy-duty overhead cranes of 10 tonnes designed to handle gearboxes weighing up to 25 tonnes.

An organization designed to facilitate cross-functional communication:

– At MERGER , we place communication and exchange at the heart of the quality of our solutions: the layout of our premises and our equipment are designed to facilitate exchanges between the sales departments, our design office and our workshop.

From Strasbourg to Corbas

From its founding in Strasbourg in 1947 until its integration into the Le Goff Group, MERGER has had several addresses which you can find on the nameplates of these facilities.

MERGER operates in 36 countries with subsidiaries in the USA, Singapore, and Mexico. The Strasbourg Meinau site covered 6 different addresses:

11 rue des Frères Eberts,
13 rue des Frères Eberts,
15 rue des Frères Eberts,
17 rue Livio,
18 Livio Street
20 Livio Street.

MERGER has retained a main telephone number which can still be found today on the plates of our devices: 03 88 40 55 55.

Other telephone numbers were used for specific applications such as 88 40 55 55 , 88 39 17 30 , 34 26 12 and 34 26 13.

For certain markets, particularly in Europe, the assembly of geared motors took place at 14 rue Schertz.

When moving to the Lyon region, the first address was 17 rue des Frères Lumière in Chassieu (69).

The company has since moved to 15 avenue de Montmartin in Corbas (69). The telephone number is 04 78 90 20 00.
