Harmony Europe Office in Toulouse, France
More Than Equipment
Harmony Europe, located in Toulouse, France, has been the subsidiary office of Harmony Enterprises for the past ten years. Although they are a direct extension of Harmony Enterprises, Harmony Europe is responsible for a wide range of business outside of the continental United States. This office has done an incredible job with equipment sales, service, and special projects throughout France, Europe, and Northern Africa. But, Harmony Europe’s capability is more than equipment.
Harmony Europe not only specializes in balers, compactors, and beverage extraction equipment, they also utilize solar powered technology and wireless monitoring systems to assist their customers. Because the European waste handling and recycling market is more diverse, Harmony Europe also offers and provides support for equipment such as screw compactors, bin compactors, and glass crushers. They offer both purchase and rental programs on their equipment, allowing their client base to acquire recycling equipment and service on a plan that fits their budget.
Europe’s One Stop Shop For The VGP
Harmony Europe offers much more than just quality equipment at a fair price. They are equipped to provide service over a large area with a minimum response time. France has a unique system of quality and safety checks on waste handling and recycling equipment, called the VGP. These service calls are required on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, depending on the type of equipment being serviced. Harmony Europe is quickly being recognized as the premiere supplier of VGP service in France.
One of the common misconceptions is that due to their limited office staff, Harmony Europe is not capable of technical service outside of its regional area. This is definitely not the case. Harmony Europe employs a large number of qualified technicians and places them strategically throughout the country of France. They are able to successfully schedule and complete required VGP service calls in an efficient and affordable manner, with quality service.
