About Airnace SA
Airnace SA was founded in 1999 by Francis Richard in Evionnaz in the Valais and started out with a 22 m Ruthmann articulated boom lift. The company specializes in safe work at height and in the negative range and rents out aerial work platforms, mobile cranes and mini cranes, construction hoists, facade lifts, forklifts, attachments such as glass suction lifters, Pont roulant, Rail-Route equipment as well as — in partnership with Indupro — aluminium rolling scaffolds. In addition, Airnace provides experienced machine operators and crane drivers as deployment teams, especially for glass installation work. Its own workshop with a VSAA/ASFP-certified service center has been handling maintenance and servicing of work platforms since 2016. As a specialist dealer for the Algimouss/Algipro brand, Airnace also offers cleaning and treatment products as well as services for roofs, walls and facades. With eight locations in French-speaking Switzerland (Valais, Vaud, Fribourg) and its own transport fleet, the company guarantees high availability, on-time delivery and professional machine instruction.
