The chassis fabrication, surface treatment and final assembly are all being carried out at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milc-industry.com\/en\/about-us\/\">our manufacturing facility near the Pyrenees<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prototypes have been successfully approved, and production has kept our manufacture busy throughout the summer. The first 25 mobility carts are scheduled for delivery in mid-September, in time for the visit of Pope Leo XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr Jean Salomon, former Prefect of the Hautes-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es and now Prefect of Yonne, whose in-depth knowledge of the region&#8217;s economic ecosystem helped connect the Fler Group&#8217;s expertise with the sanctuary&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
