TECNOMA

What TECNOMA does

TECNOMA is a French agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1952 and headquartered in Épernay, in the Champagne wine-producing region. The company specializes in crop-protection equipment, producing a comprehensive portfolio of agricultural sprayers (self-propelled models LASER and LASER XL with 3,200-5,200 L tanks; trailed models TECNIS 3100 and TECNIS II up to 6,000 L; mounted models Premis, Xénis, and MAXIS) and straddle tractors for narrow vineyards (the S120, T140, and P140/160 EVO range from 122 to 204 HP, plus the VOLTIS fully electric variant). All tanks, mixing units, nozzles, and fittings are manufactured in-house at the Épernay factory using proprietary rotomolding and injection molding processes, providing vertical control over a critical production step.

TECNOMA's technology stack centers on precision spraying: DPAE flowmeter regulation, OSS+ nozzle-to-nozzle shut-off, iTOP-S continuous circulation with pneumatic anti-drip, ISOBUS console integration, GPS-guided application, AXAIR suspension, and the proprietary PENTIX/PENTAJET nozzle holders. The VOLTIS platform adds lithium iron phosphate battery power (75-115 kWh, 3,000+ cycles, 5-16 hours autonomous operation) and a full-electric drivetrain rated 30% more efficient than standard hydrostatic transmission. Strategic supplier relationships include DEUTZ (engines), Bosch Rexroth (hydrostatic transmissions), and NOZAL (nozzles).

The business model is hardware sales through a third-party dealer channel covering France, ~25 other European markets, and Chile, supplemented by spare parts and consumables revenue via the shop.tecnoma.com Extranet. Customer segments are primarily viticulture/wine producers requiring narrow-row equipment and general agricultural operations needing high-capacity spraying, with a smaller municipal/urban green-space segment. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers obtain quotes through dealers. The company appears to remain privately held and independent, with no disclosed external investors or parent company.

Core offering

TECNOMA manufactures and sells agricultural sprayers (self-propelled, trailed, and mounted) and straddle tractors specifically designed for narrow vineyard rows, all built at its Épernay factory in France. The company also produces and distributes a complete range of spare parts, including NOZAL nozzles and PENTIX nozzle holders. Its products serve vineyards, general farming operations, and municipal green-space maintenance customers across Europe and select international markets.

Product overview

TECNOMA is a specialist in crop protection offering a comprehensive portfolio of agricultural sprayers and straddle tractors. The product lineup includes three types of sprayers: self-propelled (LASER and LASER XL with capacities 3,200-5,200L), trailed (TECNIS 3100 and TECNIS II with 3,100-6,000L), and mounted (Premis, Xénis, MAXIS from 300-1,600L). The company also manufactures straddle tractors for narrow vineyards: the S-T-P range (S120 EVO, T140 EVO, P140/160 EVO with 122-204 HP) and the VOLTIS fully electric model. All tanks, mixing units, nozzles, and fittings are manufactured in-house at the Epernay factory using rotomolding and injection molding expertise. The range is distributed through agricultural and wine dealer networks across Europe and internationally.

Broad incumbents

• John Deere: Global agricultural machinery incumbent offering self-propelled sprayers (e.g., R4040 series), tractors, and precision-ag software — competes with TECNOMA at the high end of crop protection but does not specialize in narrow-vineyard straddle tractors.
• CNH Industrial (Case IH / New Holland Agriculture): Global agricultural OEM with self-propelled sprayers (Patriot, Guardian) and specialty tractors via New Holland — a broad incumbent competing with TECNOMA across multiple categories without the same vineyard specialization.

Direct peers

• Kuhn Group: French-headquartered global manufacturer of agricultural machinery including mounted and trailed sprayers, tillage, and hay/forage tools — a direct competitor in crop-protection equipment with much broader scale.
• Hardi International (EXEL Industries): Danish-headquartered global sprayer specialist (part of EXEL Industries, which also owns Berthoud); competes directly with TECNOMA in mounted, trailed, and self-propelled agricultural sprayers with similar boom and tank architecture.
• Berthoud Agricole: French manufacturer of agricultural sprayers (mounted, trailed, self-propelled) — a like-for-like French competitor to TECNOMA in vineyard and arable crop protection with overlapping dealer networks.
• Bobard: French specialist in vineyard and orchard sprayers, with a strong narrow-row focus analogous to TECNOMA's viticulture DNA and a comparable Champagne-region heritage.
• Lemken: German manufacturer of crop protection equipment (including field sprayers) and tillage implements — a directly comparable competitor in arable spraying with overlapping ISOBUS and precision-ag positioning.
• Antonio Carraro: Italian manufacturer of specialized compact and vineyard/orchard tractors — directly comparable to TECNOMA's S/T/P straddle tractor range in narrow-row specialty tractor applications.
• Pellenc: French manufacturer of specialized viticulture and arboriculture equipment, including battery-powered straddle tractors and in-row tool carriers — the closest pure-play competitor to TECNOMA's VOLTIS electric straddle franchise.
• Amazone: German manufacturer of agricultural sprayers (mounted, trailed, and self-propelled) and soil tillage equipment — the closest scale competitor to TECNOMA in crop-protection machinery serving European arable and specialty farms.
