Fixator is pleased to announce that it has joined Canopy Brands, a family of trusted brands providing protection, access and mobility solutions to commercial, residential and industrial markets. Canopy Brands’ mission is simple: to be the best home for the world’s mightiest small companies.
The acquisition marks an important new chapter in the development of the French manufacturer and creates new opportunities for its teams, customers and partners around the world.
Clément Chamignon, General Manager of Fixator, said:
We are excited to join Canopy Brands, and to have the capital and support for Fixator to reach new heights.
Founded in 1924 and headquartered near Angers, France, Fixator has built more than a century of expertise designing and manufacturing suspended access solutions for lifting people and materials at height. The company sells its solutions in more than 90 countries worldwide and operates a facility in Shanghai serving customers throughout Asia.
From personnel and material lifting hoists to temporary and permanent suspended platforms, rigging systems and customized solutions, Fixator supports demanding applications across the elevator, construction, infrastructure, power generation and sports arena sectors.
Accelerating Fixator's development
Joining Canopy Brands will enable Fixator to build on its existing know-how while accelerating its future development. As part of the group, Fixator will strengthen its team and innovation capabilities, enhance its international distribution network and pursue new growth opportunities.
Fixator brings to Canopy Brands a fully integrated industrial base, combining in-house product design with precision machining, fabrication and assembly at its facility in France.
Stronger together
Within Canopy Brands, Fixator joins Bee Access, a North American specialist in temporary and permanent access equipment, and ALBA, a Spanish manufacturer of rack-and-pinion hoists.
Brian Colton, CEO of Canopy Brands, stated:
We have known the Fixator team for many years and been impressed with their capabilities and product breadth.
This new environment creates opportunities for collaboration and further development while allowing Fixator to continue building on the products, relationships and industrial know-how that have defined the company.
For Fixator’s customers and partners, the ambition is clear: Fixator will continue delivering trusted lifting and suspended access solutions while gaining additional resources to innovate, grow and strengthen its international reach.
A new chapter
Fixator enters this new phase with the same commitment to engineering expertise, manufacturing know-how and solutions designed for demanding working-at-height applications.
Becoming part of Canopy Brands provides a strong foundation from which to build the next chapter of Fixator’s development, combining its historic French industrial expertise with new resources and opportunities for international growth.
