ABOUT US

Three decades of innovation and know-how

More than 30 years ago, Claude Buzon revolutionised the world of terrace support systems by founding Buzon Pedestal International and its innovative pedestals for the embellishment of outdoor spaces. He started by importing French pedestals and adapted them to the constraints of the work sites. Quickly, he developed his own series of pedestals to respond to the growing needs of the market and exported them around the world. Since then, the company has grown a lot and is now managed by his son, Laurent Buzon, who does everything to perpetuate the work accomplished. The company has been a real success story, and since then, no less than four generations of pedestals have seen the light of day.

This success rests on solid foundations. Since its establishment in Liège (Belgium), the family business has multiplied its collaborations and now has 40 partners in more than 50 countries. Trust is one of the key values of the company, and is built up with each mission, by listening to the client, and undertaking each project with enthusiasm.

Every year, millions of pedestals are manufactured for projects and large-scale work sites throughout the world. Although Buzon® offers stability solutions, the company categorically rejects immobility. Innovation is one of the Buzon® drivers, which spurs the company on to develop ever more adapted and efficient products.
