The brand started as a blacksmith shop in a village, Rocherath, Belgium. Later developed a manufacturing unit for sale and production of agriculture equipments and tractor cabins. In late 1960 the company manufactured its first semi-trailer, having the large number of glass manufacturers motivated the growth of the brand and their first low bed trailer in 1973 for transporting glass. Looking for a solution to transport glass panes vertically, they developed a special inloader trailer in 1977. In 1980 the first extendable trailer with hydraulic steering was manufactured by the company. With ever so growing demand, the old manufacturing unit could not compensate. For the same reason, in 1988 a new unit was built in Büllingen, Belgium. Which could handle higher demand and production. Since then, the product line was expanding to meet new needs of customers. New production units were added in 2003 in Luxembourg, 2006 in Poland and a CKD assembly unit in Moscow. In 2013 Faymonville developed a facility in Noginsk, Russia to cater the needs of the Russian customers mainly due to harsh weather conditions trailers needed regular repairs and maintenance. At the facility, the company offers assembly of the trailers and also training for the drivers to operate the trailers properly. In 2015 Faymonville got patent rights for dual lane multi-axle transport vehicles, called the “897 patent.” trailers to develop a HMT for American market which fit under the regulations of the local authorities. In the result of obtaining the patent, Faymonville launched its DualMAX dual lane HMT modules in American and Canadian markets which had special widening characteristic to change the width of the trailer from 14 ft to 21 ft this feature makes the transportation of the empty module easy and also complies with the regulations. The company claimed that single axle line has a payload capacity of close to 24 tons. In 2019 Faymonville acquired Stürzer Heavy Trucks, a sale and service dealer based in Landsberg am Lech, Germany. As a result of the new acquisition a new company was formed Faymonville Trade & Services to provide sale and service of special equipment from their Faymonville, Max Trailer, and Cometto brand but also sales and service for heavy-duty tractors from other manufacturers will be made available at the same facility.
