Machinery Move-In & New Plant Assembly in Lyon
Klose Industrial Service delivers complete machinery move-in and new plant assembly services in Lyon, France. From unloading and move-in through internal transport, precision positioning, and rough and fine assembly, our in-house teams bring new production equipment safely into operation.
In short
Klose Industrial Service handles the complete move-in and assembly of new machinery in Lyon, France with its own crews and equipment — unloading from truck or container, move-in through doors, facades, or roof openings, internal transport across production halls, millimeter-accurate positioning, and rough and fine mechanical assembly to OEM specifications, through to mechanical completion and commissioning support.
How does machinery move-in and unloading work in Lyon?
As Lyon is France's second industrial city, a major center for chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology manufacturing, new production equipment arrives here continuously — and getting it from the truck to its foundation is a discipline of its own. Klose Industrial Service manages the complete move-in process throughout Lyon and the wider France region: unloading machinery from trucks and containers with our own cranes and forklifts, checking shipments against packing lists, removing transport packaging, and bringing every component safely into the building — through standard doors, tight corridors, or via openings in the facade or roof when required.
Can you handle internal transport and precision positioning in Lyon?
Once inside the facility, machines rarely stand where the truck stops. Our teams in Lyon execute internal cross-transport across production halls using electric pick-and-carry cranes, heavy-duty forklifts, air skates, and skidding systems — protecting floors, existing production lines, and cleanroom environments along the way. At the final location, we position each machine to millimeter accuracy using laser alignment, precision leveling, and anti-vibration mounting according to the manufacturer's installation drawings.
What does rough and fine assembly of new plants in Lyon include?
New machinery and complete plants typically arrive in Lyon as dozens or hundreds of individual assemblies. Klose Industrial Service performs the full mechanical erection: rough assembly of frames, bases, and main modules, followed by fine assembly of guards, auxiliary units, piping, and peripherals — all to OEM specifications and torque standards. Our certified millwrights work from the manufacturer's documentation and can operate as a whitelabel assembly team for machine builders delivering into France, right up to mechanical completion and commissioning support.
Why choose Klose for machinery move-in and assembly in Lyon?
Move-in and assembly is where transport damage, schedule slips, and interface problems become expensive. Our approach in Lyon eliminates these risks with a single in-house team covering unloading, move-in, internal transport, positioning, and assembly — no handovers between subcontractors. With our own equipment fleet, German engineering standards, and experience across automotive, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and machinery sectors in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, we deliver new plants ready for hook-up and production start on schedule.

A new plant only earns money once it runs — our job is to make the path from truck to first part as short as possible.
