What Fitness does

TERMET (legal entity TERMET SOLEFI) is a French manufacturer and distributor of slaughterhouse equipment, organized as an SASU and headquartered in Champagné, France, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the diversified industrial group Groupe BOBET (which employs approximately 250 people across TERMET, MANULATEX, and VOLATEX). The firm is registered under NAF code 2893Z (fabrication de machines pour l'industrie agro-alimentaire).

Its core offering centers on the LE MATADOR family of captive-bolt stunning pistols (Super Securit 3000, HVL3000 CAL27, HVS3000 CAL27), supported by color-coded explosive cartridges (consumables), electric anesthesia systems, and the SUPER SECURITEST spindle-speed measurement device with USB data recording for animal-welfare compliance. The portfolio extends across the slaughter line into sterilizers, workstation ergonomics equipment (carcass spreaders, restrainers, ligature systems), cutting tools (EZYTRIM electric and R-TRIM pneumatic circular knives, circular and reciprocating saws, shears), hygiene systems, consumables (plugs, bags, blood bags), waste-treatment equipment (FAN separators, cyclones), and offal-processing machinery.

Revenue mechanics span industrial capital-equipment sales to slaughterhouses plus recurring consumables (cartridges, plugs, knives). The firm distributes complementary international brands (Ollari & Conti, Ibex, Caps International, Argus, FAN, Gozlin, Kentmaster) and serves customers in more than 25 countries across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. Go-to-market relies on a technico-commercial team, an in-house engineering service for custom line builds, a used-equipment channel, and trade-show presence (e.g., CFIA Rennes 2026). Subsidiaries MANULATEX (PPE for slaughterhouse operators, integrated 1997) and VOLATEX (poultry slaughter spare parts, acquired June 2017) extend the equipment-and-services bundle around the core stunning franchise.

Direct peers

• Schlachthoftechnik Müller: German supplier of slaughterhouse equipment, tools, and consumables. Closely comparable to TERMET in product scope — stunning, cutting, hygiene — serving German and Central European slaughterhouse operators.
• Frontmatec: Danish-headquartered supplier of slaughterhouse equipment including stunning devices, carcass processing, and hygiene systems. Closest direct peer to TERMET in red-meat stunning tools, now operating under JBT but historically a like-for-like competitor.
• Jarvis Products Corporation: US-based manufacturer of slaughtering and meat processing equipment, including captive-bolt stunners, dehiding tools, and saws. Direct competitor to TERMET's MATADOR and cutting-tool lines for cattle and pig slaughterhouses.
• Best & Donovan: US-based manufacturer of slaughterhouse tools, including stunning devices, saws, and primal-cutting equipment. Directly competes with TERMET in North American slaughterhouses with a comparable specialized-equipment focus.

Broad incumbents

• BAADER: German family-owned specialist in fish, poultry, and meat processing machinery. Overlaps with TERMET in slaughterhouse equipment but with stronger focus on fish/poultry and on full-line processing rather than single-category stunning tools.
• JBT Corporation: US-listed global supplier of food processing and air transport equipment. Through its acquisition of Frontmatec, JBT competes in red-meat and poultry slaughterhouse equipment including stunning, with far broader scale and a turnkey system offering.
• Marel: Iceland-headquartered global leader in food processing equipment, including meat and poultry slaughter and processing lines. Directly competes with TERMET in slaughterhouse equipment but offers a much broader, integrated platform spanning portioning, deboning, and further processing.

Regional players

• INOX Meccanica: Italian manufacturer of slaughterhouse equipment and cutting tools with strong Southern European presence. Closely comparable to TERMET in product mix (stunning, cutting, ergonomics) and customer profile, but geographically focused on Italy and Mediterranean markets.
• Tomelleri Engineering: Italian designer and builder of slaughterhouse and meat-processing installations. Comparable to TERMET in stunning and further-processing equipment, focused on European customers seeking custom-engineered slaughter lines.

Emerging players

• Shandong MIMX Machinery: China-based manufacturer of slaughterhouse and meat processing equipment with growing international footprint. Competes with TERMET primarily on price in Asian and emerging markets, increasingly overlapping on stunning and cutting-tool categories.
