Mecalac moves to FAYAT's South Carolina campus

Mecalac North America has strategically relocated from Massachusetts to the FAYAT Group campus in Ridgeway, South Carolina. This move signals a renewed commitment to growing Mecalac's presence and capabilities in North America and positions the company for enhanced collaboration, training, and customer support.

This campus will host a brand-new parts distribution centre that will benefit most FAYAT Group brands, with Mecalac in particular standing to gain from improved parts logistics and faster support. 

"As we relocate to Ridgeway and join the FAYAT Group campus, we are accelerating our ability to serve customers with faster parts availability, stronger technical support, and more integrated solutions across brands," said Pierre Lahutte, president of Mecalac. "This step reinforces our confidence in North America's growth potential and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering value to our customers and partners."

Key benefits of Mecalac's relocation include: 

• Centralized parts logistics through the new depot, improving availability and response times for Mecalac customers.
• Expanded training and technical support infrastructure to accelerate problem-solving and increase uptime.
• Greater collaboration across the FAYAT Group brands to deliver integrated solutions for customers in North America.
• A visible commitment to growth in the U.S. market, reinforced by strategic acquisitions and ongoing investments. 

FAYAT Group will host a grand opening at its Ridgeway campus 

The grand opening of the Ridgeway campus is scheduled for May 12, with ongoing milestones to be announced as they become available. 

In June 2025, the FAYAT Group acquired the Mecalac Group. With the acquisition, the Mecalac Group joined the FAYAT Road Equipment Division, a world leader in roadbuilding equipment. Like the division's other brands, Mecalac retains its autonomy, continuing to offer customers high-end solutions under the Mecalac brand.  

Additional details on the Ridgeway campus timeline and milestones will be shared as they become available.

"The investment demonstrates our collective commitment to delivering excellence to our customers and partners," said Rob Mueckler, general manager, FAYAT North America. "This facility also stands as a tangible testament to the group's engagement in the U.S. market. These steps reinforce our confidence in the region's growth potential and our ability to better serve it. We are dedicated to growing Mecalac in North America, and this campus will be a cornerstone of enhanced collaboration, training, and support."
