Farissia BTP employs 240 people and specialises in working at height and services several projects across the country.

“Our strength lies in the proximity and responsiveness of our teams. With the support of the Haulotte teams, we are able to provide tailored solutions to our customers’ needs, as evidenced by the large-scale projects such as the Grand Mosque of Algiers or the construction of the Ali-la-Pointe Stadium in Douera, where our aerial work platforms were present,” said Hichem Marsel, general manager of Farissia.
