Project approach in Western Europe

Managing projects from study to commissioning

GGS Western Europe relies on a centralised ERP system and worksite management tools deployed across the group’s affiliates to monitor purchasing, planning, deliveries, on-site interventions and construction quality. Centralised purchasing and the Darois logistics platform make it possible to supply high-quality equipment with optimised lead times and controlled costs, both in France and internationally. Local installation teams and technicians ensure professional, safe and efficient execution on site.

Reliability, maintenance and installation safety

To stay close to customers, GGS integrates remote supervision systems enabling operational monitoring of installations, technical support and diagnostics. Adapted maintenance contracts help guarantee the long-term reliability and performance of storage, drying, handling, automation and bulk logistics installations. The group’s safety and continuous improvement approach is recognised through MASE certification, an important reference for interventions in demanding industrial environments.

Grain storage solutions

GGS Western Europe designs installations for grain storage, drying, cleaning and handling for farms, cooperatives and industrial sites. Projects cover both new installations and the modernisation of existing equipment to improve capacity, preservation, compliance and overall site performance.

Pellet and bulk logistics

The teams develop pellet storage platforms, as well as reception, conveying, dust extraction and dispatch systems for bulk products, biomass and powdered materials. These installations secure logistics flows while preserving product quality.
