Silofamer

What Silofamer does

Silofarmer is a French agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1989 in Corrèze, specializing in equipment for livestock farming operations — specifically mixing, feeding, bedding (straw spreading), and bale unwinding. The company's product portfolio centers on three mixing machine lines (KARTHALA vertical auger mixers at 8–44 m³, TAMBORA vertical auger mixers with lateral distribution belt at 12–44 m³, and ADAMA horizontal auger mixers at 8–18 m³) and a complementary range of silage-straw spreaders (DP series 2.5–8.3 m³), mounted straw spreaders (P280/P300), disk spreaders for poultry buildings (DPG/DPC/DPA/DPCA self-propelled), distribution trailers (4.2–19.5 m³), loader-mounted unrollers (TWIN-PIC V2/RV2), and the versatile DEMPO tool carrier. All machines are manufactured to order with standardized common components across product lines, with proprietary differentiators including the Temp-O-Coup automated counter-knife system, hot-dip galvanized chassis, and precision weighing systems.

The business model is hardware sales of build-to-order industrial equipment, with quote-based pricing (observed unit prices from ~€12,485 for the TWIN-PIC RV2 to €39,695+ for TAMBORA mixers). Go-to-market relies on an authorized dealer/concessionnaire network across France and Europe, supported by two regional commercial representatives (Franck Guery for France West, Romain Ciscard for France East) and active participation in major agricultural trade shows (SPACE Rennes, Sommet de l'Élevage, TECH'OVIN, Salon de l'Herbe, Capr'Inov). Customer segments span cattle farmers (primary), small ruminant (sheep/goat) farmers, and poultry farmers. Approximately 110–120 employees operate across five industrial sites in Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, and Corrèze.

In September 2025, Silofarmer transitioned from Groupe Lerin-Cartel to the Razol Suire group, maintaining its Naves (Corrèze) production site and brand identity while gaining access to broader development resources from a complementary French agricultural OEM with soil-work, shredding, and weeding expertise. The company is privately held, generates revenue exclusively through French and European channels, and has no disclosed AI, software, or digital platform layer beyond a standard website, blog, and Facebook/Instagram presence.
