SAS Eurotandem

What SAS Eurotandem does

SAS Eurotandem is a French industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2015 by Albert Berthier and his son Olivier Berthier, headquartered in Certines, France. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of complete production lines for dairies and cheese factories, serving producers of hard, semi-hard, soft, blue, and AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) cheeses. Its product portfolio spans the full cheese-making workflow, including milk and serum reception, cheese vats, molding devices, press and acidification systems, salting and brining equipment, washing systems, CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, and modular 3-piece moulds. The founders collectively bring 33 years of cheese-making industry experience, and the company positions itself as respecting traditional cheese-maker know-how while delivering modern process automation.

The company operates as a private, founder-owned SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) entity with approximately 5 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. Its revenue model combines one-time equipment sales (ranging from simple individual machines to fully automated turnkey production lines), installation professional services, and recurring maintenance contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting cheese producers, supported by a bilingual English/French website that signals intent to serve customers beyond France. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct quotation.

Despite a small headcount, Eurotandem claims to have become a 'major player on the French market' within 8 years of founding and serves international cheese-makers as well. The company operates in a niche industrial equipment segment characterized by high contract values per project, long customer relationships tied to installed production lines, and specialization in regulated AOP cheese production — a segment with stringent equipment validation requirements. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, formal partnerships, public certifications, or external funding events are documented in the available data.
