Burdis

What Burdis does

Burdis is a privately held French trading company (société de négoce) founded in 1988, headquartered in La Fouillouse, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The company specializes in the resale of manual poultry slaughter equipment, purchasing products from multiple suppliers and selling them directly to professional poultry slaughterhouses (abattoirs de volailles) and small game processors across Europe. Its product portfolio covers the entire manual poultry slaughter workflow: live bird transport (cages, containers, rolling platforms, spare parts), stunning and slaughtering (electronarcose equipment, bleeding cones, hanging solutions, manual tools), plucking (wet/dry pluckers and accessories), evisceration (manual and semi-automatic solutions), chilling (stainless steel trolleys), cutting and packaging (tables, knives, vacuum machines), hygiene equipment (boot washers, sterilisers, crate washers), and work clothing/PPE. The company also offers a ready-to-use slaughter module as a turnkey bundled solution.

The business model is a direct-to-customer e-commerce operation centered on the burdis.fr website, supplemented by an annual physical and digital catalog (2024/2025 edition), email newsletter, and YouTube video content. Pricing is publicly disclosed on the website, with individual unit prices ranging from approximately €10 to over €2,000 for larger equipment such as chilling trolleys. For bulk orders of 10+ cages, custom transport quotes are provided. Customer service is handled via phone and contact form, and the company provides advisory services to help slaughterhouses design their facilities.

Burdis employs 5 people and operates without disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or executive team information. It holds no patents or formal certifications, and has no proprietary technology development. An English-language mirror website (burdis-poultry.com) exists alongside the French primary site, suggesting limited international expansion intent. The company is independently owned and operated, with no evidence of venture capital or private equity backing.
