Pronomic SAS celebrates 20 years of creating safer, smarter work in France

About the role

Pronomic SAS is celebrating its 20th anniversary, marking two decades since the company was founded as Movomech SARL on 1 December 2005. From a one-person operation started in a private home, the company has grown into a key part of the Pronomic Group, helping customers across France create safer, more efficient and more ergonomic workplaces.

History

When Movomech SARL was created in 2005, the company’s assignment was clear: build a network of distributors for the French market. During the early years, the business operated solely through distributors, laying the foundation for long-term partnerships and customer relationships. As demand grew, the company moved from a home office to its first dedicated premises in Saint-Étienne in 2008. In 2011, operations were relocated closer to Lyon, with a new office in Brignais. The final move to Millery in 2014 was driven by the need for larger premises and warehouse capacity, enabling faster deliveries and a broader range of solutions for customers across France.

Evolution and Expansion

On 1 January 2022, Movomech SARL changed its name to Pronomic, becoming the first company in the group to carry the Pronomic name. Since then, most of the group’s subsidiaries have aligned under the same brand. Today, five companies in Europe share the Pronomic name: Sweden, Finland, Germany, France and, most recently, the United Kingdom. Across these markets, Pronomic focuses on premium, modular lifting and moving solutions – from ergonomic lifting trolleys to rail and crane systems and custom-engineered tools.

Leadership and Team

In 2024, Pronomic SAS entered a new chapter in its development. With Pierre Ellow taking on a new assignment within the Pronomic Group, the company’s leadership in France passed to Managing Director Jean-Charles Doublet. Today, Pronomic SAS employs around 45 people, covering sales, engineering, project management, installation, service and logistics. Together, they support customers in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and more.

Mission and Vision

Pronomic SAS has a strong legacy of being close to customers and solving real-world challenges on the factory floor. The company's focus now is to build on that foundation: expand its local presence, strengthen its service offering and continue to innovate ergonomic solutions that make work genuinely safer and easier for people. Over the past two decades, Pronomic’s solutions in France have helped countless operators and teams reduce manual lifting, lower injury risks and improve productivity.
