What Vivelys SAS does
Vivelys SAS is a French precision oenology company, headquartered in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone (Occitanie) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OENEO Group. The company designs and sells an integrated hardware, consumable and software portfolio covering the full winemaking process from vine to cellar: maturity monitoring (Dyostem), fermentation control (Cilyo must oxygenation, Visio micro- and macro-oxygenation, Densios connected density sensors, Scalya Up CO2 recovery, Ecolys yeast production), aging (Batonneur lees-stirring and the Boisé family of French oak chips, staves, barrel inserts, tannins and extracts), and a digital cellar notebook (KYP) that pools sensor data for decision support. Under the Boisé France SAS subsidiary, it also produces a certified, solar-torrefied PEFC oak range and has extended into beer and No/Low alcohol beverages via Boisé Absolu and Ecolys Beer.
The business operates a B2B hybrid go-to-market: direct enterprise sales from headquarters and from wholly-owned subsidiaries in Santa Rosa, USA and Curicó, Chile, supplemented by an established distributor network covering Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Australia, the USA and others, generating approximately 70% of revenue from exports to more than 20 countries. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (sensors, oxygenation equipment, fermentation automation), consumable product sales (Boisé oak products, extracts, tannins) and technical consulting/customisation services; pricing is quote-based with sample kits offered for evaluation. Named customers include premium producers such as Opus One, Familia Zuccardi, J.Lohr and Domaine Yann Chave, alongside a broader base of winegrowers, breweries and spirit producers served through channel partners.
