The JEAN-MICHEL EGRETIER limited liability company, established in 1954 and acquired in 2006 by Jean Michel EGRETIER, son of the eponymous company's founder, is family-owned, and specialises in designing and manufacturing machines and equipment for viticulture and the agri-foods industry.
With experience going back 70 years, the company is famous for its expertise and innovation.
EGRETIER is constantly looking for new solutions for improving the effectiveness and sustainability of its equipment. Among its recent innovations are: EGRETIER MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC INTERCEPS, inter-vine tools enabling mechanised weeding whilst aerating the soil. This technology promotes water penetration and avoids drought, a phenomenon that is increasing due to climate change. THE EGRETIER COPILOT is a user-equipment interface with two-way information transfer. It cuts production costs and improves the quality of soil treatment and driver safety.
EGRETIER was one of the first companies to develop mechanised weeding tools for vines. This technology, which gets rid of weeds without the use of phytosanitary products, is today the top solution for replacing chemical weeding.
EGRETIER is committed to a process of sustainable development. Among other things, it is committed to reducing its environmental impact by: using sustainable and recyclable materials in product manufacture. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Today, EGRETIER is a leading company in the winemaking equipment market. Its equipment and systems are exported to more than 40 countries. It continues to innovate so as to meet the needs of winemakers and contribute towards development with regard to sustainable viticulture that respects biodiversity.
