Fresh impetus coupled with long-standing manufacturing experience

We have been operating under the trading name of Texelis since 1 June 2008, although our history stretches back much further. We started out in the field of aeronautics in 1939 with the creation of a site in Limoges devoted to building aircraft engines.

In 1964, activities at the site were redirected towards the commercial vehicle sector when we was acquired by the manufacturer SAVIEM, which itself became part of the RENAULT Group in 1978.

Between 2000 and 2005, the site focused on small production runs of complete power transmission and load-bearing solutions for customers outside the group.

2005 saw the beginning of a gradual transfer of all departments from the RENAULT TRUCKS headquarters in Lyon to the Limoges site, including sales, purchasing, projects, research, after-sales and finance.

In 2008, the Limoges entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary of RENAULT TRUCKS under the name of TEXELIS.

On 1 October 2009, TEXELIS became an independent company with Philippe Frantz as its main shareholder. With its capacity for innovation and development, research and testing facilities, its manufacturing resources and its service network, TEXELIS is now driven by a new, totally customer-centric approach.
