Lovato is a private company with capital of one million euros that builds and reconditions machine tools for secondary transformation of wood. It was created in 1981, in Perrigny, in the Jura district, in a 4000-m² building with an exhibition hall for equipment sales and a machinery building and reconditioning workshop. This is a family-owned company, with two managers, Yvon and Laurent LOVATO, and a staff of twelve.

Today, in order to compete in the foreign export sector, the Lovato Company has chosen to engage in corporate restructuring. The primary gauge for this procedure is the construction of a 6000-m² building in the Champ Dolin Industrial Zone in Saint-Priest, in the Rhône district, where the company exhibits standard, intermediate and specialty machinery. Located just five minutes from the international Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, this "European Center for quality pre-owned woodworking machinery" is a real trump for Lovato, which is accustomed to working with companies throughout the world. In fact, trading in used woodworking machine tools requires the directors of this company to travel not only to trade shows and exhibits in France, but also abroad, so that they are always as close as they can be to their suppliers and their clients.
