C2 Marine, a longstanding partner of YANMAR Marine International for over 25 years and a Master Dealer for the past eight, has taken a significant step forward with the opening of a brand-new, cutting-edge 400m2 mechanical facility.
This investment highlights the company's continued growth and commitment to delivering top-tier service to both private and professional clients in the marine sector.
The newly inaugurated space includes an 80m" showroom/reception area dedicated to marine mechanics, as well as a 90m" ultra-modern workshop for high-performance mechanical services. This is complemented with a 220m" storage facility to optimize logistics and parts availability, new offices, and a dedicated training room for technical and sales training within the subdealer network.
Fully aligned with the latest environmental and energy efficiency standards, the facility was constructed entirely by local firms and includes improved waste management practices that encourage sorting and recycling.
As a YANMAR Master Dealer, C2 Marine is equipped to offer sales of engines and genuine spare parts, professional maintenance services and certified training, as well as expert technical advice on YANMAR renowned engines.
This strategic development also includes the refurbishment of the AD Nautic shop, which now features a new space dedicated to marine clothing and Helly Hansen lifestyle apparel. The transfer of the YANMAR business to its dedicated building has enabled a complete reorganization of the shop, significantly improving the customer experience and product visibility.
"The decision to expand and reorganize was driven by our desire to clarify and strengthen our brand offering," said Cedric Chorlay, Managing Director at C2 Marine. "With this investment, we not only enhance our customer experience but also reaffirm our leadership and long-term commitment to supporting YANMAR's brand presence in France and beyond."
Floris Lettinga, Director of Sales and Marketing for YANMAR Marine International, said: "C2 Marine's new facility is a powerful example of the commitment and professionalism we value in our Master Dealer network. This investment enhances our ability to support customers across France and beyond and underlines the strength of our long-term partnership with C2 Marine — one that continues to set new benchmarks for service, expertise, and customer care within the YANMAR network."
This new mechanical centre represents the largest investment by a YANMAR Master Dealer in France to date. Strategically located in the port of Canet en Roussillon, the facility will serve both domestic and international customers, solidifying C2 Marine's role in supporting the YANMAR dealer network across Europe.
With increased floor space, modern infrastructure, and expanded capabilities, C2 Marine is now ideally positioned to support future growth, provide advanced training, and deliver exceptional customer service well into the next generation.
