Located in Coussegrey, in France’s Aube region, Carrières de Coussegrey (SNCC) is a long-established limestone quarry supplying aggregates, gravel, and sand to construction companies, concrete plants and private customers.
Founded in the post-war period to support the reconstruction of homes, the quarry now operates a fleet of machines dedicated to limestone extraction and processing.
Materials are transported by rigid dumpers, ensuring a reliable supply of aggregates for a wide range of applications. To maximize productivity and efficiency in demanding quarry conditions, the company relies on BKT EARTHMAX SR 47 and EARTHMAX SR 41 tires. Operators value their traction and resistance to cuts and driving comfort, while management benefits from longer tire life, reduced downtime and lower fuel usage.
Committed to sustainability, Carrières de Coussegrey is investing in equipment that reduces fuel usage and is developing a maintenance facility equipped with photovoltaic panels.
