France Arrosage

What France Arrosage does

France Arrosage is a privately held French specialty distributor of professional irrigation, micro-irrigation, and watering equipment, headquartered in Gardanne and operating since 1981. The company sells to professional irrigators, garden and landscaping specialists (primary segment) and to municipalities and public collectivities (secondary segment) through a dedicated e-commerce storefront at france-arrosage.fr, currently publishing a 2026 interactive product catalog. Its product portfolio is organized into two power categories — a 9V battery-powered range (tap-end programmers, programmable valves including the app-controlled ESP 9V M01, and Solem-compatible components) and a 24V mains-powered range (Pocket Star, Hunter X-Core Indoor) — supplemented by autonomous timer-based valves that operate without batteries or electricity, and by a connected ecosystem comprising the Solem communication gateway, connected soil probes, pump-relay sensor kits, data acquisition modules, and the LR-IP-WAN smart-city line for municipal deployments.

The business model is distribution-led and B2B: France Arrosage selects and bundles third-party irrigation hardware (including Hunter controllers) alongside Solem ecosystem components and resells them via its own e-commerce channel rather than manufacturing core components. Coverage extends across automatic watering, micro-irrigation, pumping, rainwater recovery and storage, garden development, surface watering, and network/irrigation-line categories — a horizontal specialist assortment. Geographic reach is domestic France only; there is no disclosed footprint outside Western Europe, no public pricing, no disclosed financials, and no disclosed funding history, ownership structure or management team, leaving the company's revenue scale and ownership to be inferred rather than verified.
