Leboulch

What Leboulch does

Leboulch SAS is a French agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1921 by Mr. Leboulch in La Vieille-Lyre, Normandy, and operating today as a subsidiary of the Belgian JOSKIN Group following its 2012 acquisition. The company designs and builds monocoque agricultural tipping trailers — the Gold2 XL (11–18 t GVW) and Gold2 XXL (13–22 t GVW) lines — and vertical-beater muck spreaders (HVS and Goliath ranges), with supporting equipment including bale trailers, low loaders, livestock trailers, and pasture care implements (Aéro, Régénéro, Régénéro Flex).

Its core technology centres on a tapered monocoque body fabricated from S420MC high-tensile steel with full-length folds, parabolic-leaf bogie/tridem suspension, HARDOX-tipped vertical beaters on spreaders, and an in-house Ferti-CONTROL electronic control system for speed-proportional fertiliser application. Manufacturing is conducted in a 21,000 m² La Vieille-Lyre facility (with a 6,000 m² expansion underway in 2024) using laser cutting, robotic welding, shot blasting, and 2K polyurethane paint finishing.

The business model is hardware sales of agricultural implements through an authorised European dealer network, supplemented by spare-parts distribution (48-hour availability via seven automated warehouses) and branded merchandise. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the Advantage sub-brand offers fully equipped units at promotional prices (€1,500/axle rebate on the first 100 machines) via standardised assembly-line production. Customers are professional farmers and agricultural contractors in France and continental Europe; Africa has historically been an export market since the 1960s.
