An industrial company founded in 1936
Expertise passed down through generations
MOTEURS RL's history began in 1936, with the founding of a company dedicated to industrial mechanics. Over the decades, our business has grown around a specialist field: the manufacture and repair of babbitt-lined bushes and bearings.
In 2009, the company was acquired by Dimitri Cavelier, when its premises were in Tancarville. A new chapter began in 2011 with the company's move to Le Havre, at 60 quai Georges Raverat, and the purchase of all its shares by Messrs. Bréard, father and son.
Today, MOTEURS RL continues its work, drawing on its long-standing experience and expertise in the reconditioning of industrial mechanical components.
