General information

Short Summary
This French company specialises in manufacturing autonomous agricultural weeding robots. They have been operating since 2011 and received numerous international awards.
Already engaged in cross-border cooperations, the company is looking for distributors to further expand its sales abroad.
Full Description
Located in southern France, this company manufactures electric agricultural robots. They offer a range of four robots intended for different farming needs and purposes.
- An autonomous crawler for narrow vines
- An autonomous weeding robot for intermediate and large vines.
- A farming assistant for time-consuming and particularly arduous tasks such as hoeing, weeding, furrowing, seeding, transporting etc.
- An autonomous tool carrier for vegetables and industrial crops

All machines are equipped with a sophisticated safety system including bumpers, LIDARs (Light Detection And Ranging) and geofencing modules. Also, they come with a complete range of agricultural tools comprising torsion springs, brushes, kress fingers, five-teeth harrows, spiked harrows, ridgers, hoe blades and others.

The company has acquired a solid reputation and leading market position in France and beyond. They are now looking for distributors to develop their sales in the Baltic states and specific non-EU countries.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The ideal partners are distributors with a good knowledge of, and connections in, the farming business. They will be expected to interact with the French company regularly, e.g. via monthly calls. Part of their work will involve, among other things, organising on-field demonstrations. They will be trained by the French company for that purpose.
They will have to be responsive to any enquiries by farmers regarding the performance of the robots and liaise, if necessary, with the French company for support.
