Florent Lejay is the Director of Carrières de Coussegrey in France’s Aube region, where he oversees the extraction and processing of limestone into gravel and sand for the construction industry.
The quarry produces around 250,000 tonnes of material each year, supported by a team of 14 employees and a fleet of production vehicles. For Florent, tyre performance is closely linked to operational efficiency, with durability being the key factor in reducing downtime and maintaining productivity.
After switching to BKT on the recommendation of a supplier, the quarry found an excellent balance between quality, cost-effectiveness and service, leading to a long-term partnership built on professional support and fleet monitoring.
