Based in Elsbethen, near Salzburg in Austria, the company and its products are represented globally in the PALFINGER network by approximately 200 general importers and roughly 4,500 sales and service centres, which means that wherever you are, we're never far away.

In 2000, the assembly facility in Elsbethen opened.

In 2015, the location underwent significant expansion and was outfitted with the latest facilities, with a new assembly hall, new production lines and the innovation centre. This is where EPSILON ON-ROAD, OFF-ROAD and recycling cranes are produced for use all over the world.

In 2020, the innovation center, which only opened in 2015, was already too small due to the high increase in production and staff. Therefore, the office building was extended by two floors in order to offer all employees an adequate workplace and to be prepared for further growth.

'Global Business – Global Structure' is the motto that demonstrates how important it is to EPSILON to offer customers local services wherever possible. In view of the growing trend towards internationalisation, the aim of a global structure is to enable the company to deliver the best possible performance in various markets around the world. In operational terms, the entire PALFINGER Group is run through Area Sales Divisions.
 
The areas of EMEA, North America,South America and Asia are defined as independent market regions. This structure ensures that decisions are made locally, flexibly and quickly.
