What Chalut Green Service Sa does

Chalut Green Service SA is a Swiss family-owned distributor and after-sales service provider for outdoor power equipment, headquartered in Jussy (canton of Geneva) with two additional branches in Mies and Aclens. The company is the exclusive importer for French-speaking Switzerland of multiple premium international brands, including John Deere (garden and compact tractors, commercial mowers, Gator utility vehicles), Mean Green (professional electric mowers), Club Car (golf carts and Urban electric transporters), Goupil (electric utility vehicles), Grillo (professional mowers), Kärcher (cleaning equipment), and TSM (urban vacuum systems). Its product portfolio spans lawn care (robotic, battery, gasoline, and professional mowers; scarifiers; garden and compact tractors), vegetation management (brushcutters, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, chippers, leaf blowers), earth working, golf course maintenance, electric transport vehicles, sweepers, high-pressure cleaners, and winter-service equipment (snow blades, snow blowers, salt spreaders).

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model: three owned retail branches, an e-commerce webshop (eshop.chalut-greenservice.ch), and a network of over 40 authorized dealers across the Swiss cantons of Berne, Fribourg, Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel, Valais, and Vaud. Beyond equipment sales, revenue is generated through tiered after-sales service (Light, Medium, Premium), multi-year 'Contrat Tranquillité' maintenance subscriptions, a mobile pickup-and-delivery service fleet, short-term rentals, and used-equipment resale. Customers span four segments: private homeowners, professional landscapers and commercial operators, Swiss municipalities, and golf course operators. The company is led by Managing Director Chalut Yves, with family ownership tracing back to blacksmithing roots established in Jussy in 1730.
