MILESTONES

Welcome to CONSO!

Since 1938, our family business has built a reputation for quality and innovation in the field of spare parts and mechanical services. Here are the key moments that have shaped our journey:

1938: Company Creation

It all began when François and Renée CONSO founded our company in the heart of Nice, on rue Michel-Ange. Specializing in heavy-duty vehicle spare parts and engine components, CONSO also inaugurated the first mechanical rectification workshop in the Nice region.

1950: Transition to Jean & Sylviane CONSO

Jean and Sylviane CONSO took over, marking a new era for the company. They signed an agreement with TELMA for the distribution of electromagnetic retarders in the region. The rectification workshop expanded, and new skills, such as boilermaking, were integrated.

1983: Transition to Jean-François & Martine CONSO

After the passing of Jean CONSO, Sylviane and her son Jean-François continued the company's development. This period saw the rise of air conditioning in vehicles, and CONSO began distributing Thermoking products. Martine CONSO joined the company, and in 1985, Jean-François made a strategic decision to focus the company on diesel engines and generators for pleasure boats.

1985: The Rise of Yachting on the Côte d'Azur

With the rise of yachting on the Côte d'Azur, CONSO naturally followed this path. We secured the distribution of Deutz MWM products, which were very popular in the nautical sector. This focus allowed CONSO to become a key player in the maintenance and equipment of pleasure boats, meeting the growing needs of this thriving industry.

1991: Move to Larger Premises

To support our growth, we moved to 12 chemin de Saquier in Nice, where we are still located. This new location, situated in an industrial activity zone, allowed us to expand our workshop and improve our production and interventions.

2020: Transition to Christophe CONSO

Christophe CONSO, son of Jean-François, took the reins of the company after a decade of experience in commerce in Paris. He continues our development mission by integrating more precise diagnostic tools and strengthening our expertise in engine electronics.

2021: Expansion and New Partnerships

In 2021, CONSO added the official distribution of several prestigious brands to its portfolio, including Yanmar and Kohler for marine engine parts, as well as Hatz for engine parts. Additionally, CONSO became a major player in the industrial CAT sector, achieving Industrial Dealer status in addition to its marine agent status. These partnerships strengthen our market position and enable us to better serve our customers with an even more comprehensive and diverse range of products.

Our Commitment

At CONSO, we are proud of our family heritage and our commitment to quality and innovation. We continue to evolve while remaining true to our core values: quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction.

We look forward to continuing this adventure with you as customers, partners, or friends. Thank you for trusting CONSO!
