ACBI, manufacturer and installer of height access solutions for over 35 years
For over 35 years, ACBI has been designing, manufacturing and installing innovative solutions to secure work at height.
Combining family expertise and technical know-how, the company provides its customers with reliable equipment meeting the most stringent requirements across France and Europe.
Founded in 1989 by a father and son, ACBI has established itself as a recognised player in height safety. Based in the south of Île-de-France, this family business has grown while staying true to its founding spirit: listen, innovate, protect. Its purpose: to design and manufacture safe and durable solutions in steel and aluminium, tailored to the needs of professionals throughout France and Europe.
Since its first ladders, ACBI has expanded its expertise and now offers a comprehensive range: staircases, guardrails, lifelines, walkways, crinoline ladders and bespoke structures. Each product is designed to combine safety, reliability and ease of installation.
Innovation and technical mastery
ACBI stands out for its capacity for innovation, recognised by the CRAMIF Trophy 2015 for its Modulogard, compliant with standard NF EN 13374. Actively involved in standard-setting alongside bodies such as CRAMIF and AFNOR, the company is committed to developing solutions that always meet the strictest safety requirements. Its in-house test bench, validated by Apave, guarantees proven and certified products.
Responsiveness and strategic positioning
Thanks to its ideal location at the crossroads of major road networks, ACBI holds a key logistical advantage: fast delivery throughout France and Europe. Partnerships with Geodis and Help Transport ensure real-time tracking and, where needed, same-day delivery. With a storage capacity of 1 km of ladders and 5 km of guardrails, ACBI responds to everyday needs with outstanding responsiveness.
A shared vision with Fortal Group
In 2021, ACBI joined Fortal Group, an Alsatian family business founded in 1981. This union, beyond an industrial coming-together, is the natural meeting of two histories and two cultures driven by the same mission: securing work at height. Together, both companies combine industrial strength, innovation and proximity, while remaining true to their shared DNA: the agility of an SME and the pride of a job well done.
