Aztec-Cat: snow-groomers at Le Versoud

Aztec is the first French firm to manufacture groomers for ski slopes – a market previously occupied by Prinoth-Leitner of Austria and Kassbohrer of Germany. Aztec has established itself in Le Versoud, just up the valley from Grenoble, to start production, having signed an industrial and logistics partnership agreement with Caterpillar Logistics. The new groomers are powered by Caterpillar engines and offer longer service life than their competitors, lightweight technology which does not disturb snow pack, lower fuel consumption and immediate service for total availability during the winter season. Aztec’s partnership with Caterpillar Logistics will enable it to concentrate on its core trade, while drawing on the logistics know-how of a service company with 105 outlets in 25 countries. Caterpillar will also be giving Aztec the full benefit of its experience of industrial processes.
