What Eurofers does

Eurofers is a France-based e-commerce distributor specializing in professional farriery and horseshoeing equipment. The company operates a multi-brand distribution platform under the 'Maison des Marques' (House of Brands) concept, carrying the complete product ranges of premium international brands including Kerckhaert, Diamond, Vettec, NAF, Liberty, and Maddox, alongside proprietary Eurofers-branded products. Its catalog spans the full farriery workflow: traditional horseshoes for saddle, race, draft, and pony disciplines; horseshoe nails (including copper-based Liberty Cu Shield technology); farriery tools; forge equipment; workshop supplies; therapeutic hoof care products; silicones and resins; and adhesive systems.

The company's proprietary innovations include the HYPERHOOF composite horseshoe system (combining thin steel plate with polyflex surround, approximately 40% lighter than traditional steel), the SEMELLE ATHENA therapeutic hoof sole, and the OLLÖV Swedish PVC-coated steel horseshoe. It also distributes the Bovi-Bond adhesive system (urethane-based, sets in 30 seconds) under a sub-brand arrangement with Royal Kerckhaert and Vettec.

Eurofers serves primarily professional farriers (maréchaux-ferrants) in France through a dual-channel model: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (eurofers.com) with bulk pricing and quote capabilities, combined with a regional commercial sales network (Réseau commercial Eurofers) providing personalized field service. The company uses digital marketing channels including email newsletters, Facebook, and annual digital catalog publications. Revenue mechanics are based on unit pricing for individual and bulk product sales, with professional customers able to request quotes for larger orders. No revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership details are publicly disclosed.
