PERARD SAS

What PERARD SAS does

PERARD SAS is a French designer and manufacturer of specialized agricultural machinery, founded in 1988 by Patrick PERARD in Verdun (Meuse department) as an extension of his own farming operation. The company builds, in a single-site facility, a focused portfolio of farm equipment centered on grain logistics and organic fertilizer application: Interbenne and X-Flow grain carts (capacities up to 71 m³), Trans-eXpress mobile hoppers, X-Tank tipping trailers, the Optium range of vertical-rotor and spreading-table manure spreaders (capacities 9-30 m³), Silo-eXpress mobile silos, Plat-O-Sol tool carriers, header carts, and Porte-engins equipment carriers. Differentiated mechanical IP includes patented double spiral distributor rotors (750/860/1050mm), a patented spreading table with 1200mm discs reaching 24m working width, and a patented axle displacement system for ground-depositing platforms.

The business model is predominantly quote-based hardware sales to SMB farmers — cereal producers, cattle breeders, wine growers, and foresters — distributed through an internal commercial team and regional channel partners (notably De Vos Maszyny Rolnicze in Poland). A secondary stream of recurring, lower-ticket revenue comes from an in-house after-sales service and spare parts operation, plus a small direct-to-consumer e-commerce line for branded apparel and limited-edition 1:32 scale model Interbenne 46 miniatures. Production is supported by modern tools (a 2024-acquired 12 kW fiber laser cutting table, welding robots, 12m digital drilling) and ISO 9001 certification held continuously since April 2006.

PERARD operates as a family-owned SAS with 21 employees, has no external funding rounds or subsidiaries, and distributes in approximately 20 countries with technical documentation in eight languages. All road-registered machines are DREAL-approved for European circulation. The company shows no public API, software product, or AI capabilities, positioning it as a pure-play mechanical equipment specialist rather than a software-enabled agtech vendor.
