BEDI

What BEDI does

BEDI GROUPE is a privately held French industrial engineering firm headquartered in Brazey-en-Plaine (Burgundy), founded in 1997 by engineers with prior experience at packaging-leader CERMEX. The company designs, manufactures and services end-of-line packaging machinery — depalletizers, case erectors, case packers, case sealers, partition inserters, dynamic weighing stations, carton turners, cartesian and polyarticulated robotic palletizers, conveyors and stretch wrappers — built around multi-vendor PLC stacks (Siemens, Schneider, Allen Bradley, Omron), industrial networks (Ethernet, Profibus, FipI/O, Can Open), FANUC-standard robotics, and CAD/CAE tools (Solidworks, Autocad, See Electrical, Xelec).

The business operates five engineering competencies under one bureau d'études: mechanical design, automation, robotics, industrial electricity, and industrial IT (the last delivered via the ATOL BEDI joint venture founded in 2013 with IT partner ATOL). Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based sales of new machinery (including the KOMBI 3 combined machine), resale of used and retrofitted machines (BEDI-, CERMEX- and SIAT-branded), on-site maintenance and after-sales service across multiple packaging-machine brands, and project engineering services. Through the Alliance Made in France (formed 2013 with ALBAGNAC, COSTRAL and STONE INDUSTRIE) and a SIAT distribution agreement, BEDI extends its commercial reach into complete French-built bottling and packaging lines up to 25,000 bottles/hour. Customers span 12+ industrial verticals including wines & spirits (Moët & Chandon, Vranken-Pommery, Pernod Ricard, Castel Frères), agri-food (Nestlé, Heineken, Mc Cain), automotive (PSA, VALEO), pharma/cosmetics (SANOFI, L'ORÉAL) and government/monetic (Banque de France, Imprimerie Nationale), with sales delivered through direct field sales, contact-form/email/phone outreach, trade-show presence, and the alliance's bundled channel.

Revenue model

1. New machinery sales: Sale of new end-of-line packaging machines: depalletizers, case erectors, case packers, case sealers, partitioners, dynamic weighing stations, carton turners, palletizers, robotic palletizers, conveyors, tape/wrap machines (BEDI-branded and SIAT-distributed). Built-to-order/custom-engineered with high specificity per client.
2. Used and retrofitted machinery sales: Resale of used packaging machines (BEDI 15.35, CERMEX F37, SIAT SM481, etc.) either 'as-is' (revised) or retrofitted/reconfigured to customer production constraints.
3. Maintenance and after-sales service: On-site maintenance and after-sales service (parts and labor) on a wide range of end-of-line packaging machine brands (palletizers, case packers, carton turners, etc.).
4. Engineering services (mechanical, automation, robotics, electrical, IT): Project-based engineering services for industrial customers: mechanical design/prototyping, automation/PLC programming, robotics integration, industrial electricity studies, and industrial IT (supervision, traceability, databases) — delivered as projects and ongoing services.
5. Distribution of partner machinery (SIAT): Distribution of SIAT adhesive-tape packaging machines (case sealers, case erectors/sealers, pallet stretch wrappers) in France under a partnership.
