Pellenc SA
PELLENC designs, produces and markets tools and machines that allow winegrowers, arborists and professionals in the maintenance of green and urban spaces to facilitate their daily work. PELLENC, manufacturer of battery-powered equipment and tools for vitiviniculture, arboriculture and the maintenance of green spaces. PELLENC has been multiplying technological innovations for more than 50 years (trimmer, pre-pruner, vision sorting, secateurs and electric tying machine, etc.), thus marking the history of viticulture. The acquisition at the end of 2013 of the company PERA, a major player in engineering solutions and manufacturer of wine-making equipment, marks a new stage for PELLENC. The group can now support its customers in the development of site optimization projects or the creation of tailor-made vineyards and cellars. PELLENC thus becomes the only player in the market to offer a transverse and complete offer from the vine to the cellar, in France and internationally.

About us
- We always keep your productivity in mind: all of our products allow you to be faster, more efficient, more efficient, whatever the task.
- We seek to make your work more enjoyable and less tiring every day: ergonomics, comfort and ease of use are at the heart of our concerns.
- Finally, we are respectful of nature at the heart of which we live: we develop products that take care of plants and opt for sustainable solutions, thus preserving natural resources.
To combine performance, respect for people and the environment, PELLENC relies on a force that has marked its history since 1973: its capacity for innovation. With passion and energy, the men and women of PELLENC are constantly looking for new ideas to enhance your work.
Our fields of activityPELLENC is recognized as the benchmark for mechanical solutions in three sectors: viticulture, olive growing and fruit trees, green and urban spaces. Its advanced technologies reduce the environmental impact and provide comfort and safety to users.
From the vineyard to the cellar
PELLENC has been multiplying technological innovations for more than 50 years (trimmer, pre-trimmer, vision sorting, secateurs and electric tying machine, etc.), thus marking the history of viticulture. The Group has also developed the concept of multifunction, allowing multiple tools to be hitched to a single carrier. This innovation makes it possible to carry out all the work in the vineyard, in all seasons, optimizing its profitability.
The acquisition in 2013 of the company PERA, a major player in engineering solutions and manufacturer of wine-making equipment, marks a new stage for PELLENC. The Group can now support its clients in developing projects to optimize sites or create tailor-made vineyards and cellars. PELLENC thus becomes the only player in the market to offer a transverse and complete offer from the vine to the cellar, in France and internationally.
In orchards and olive groves
PELLENC has developed various solutions for harvesting mechanization. Its power tools are designed for areas with difficult relief, so-called multi-trunk olive trees or small farms. Self-propelled machines like the vibrator buggy are perfectly suited to larger surfaces. A machine specifically designed for super-intensive plantings has also been developed.
Like winegrowers, arborists can benefit from PELLENC advice, drawing on its skills and know-how. Through solutions combining quality and profitability, the Group works alongside producers to promote a new concept of an economical, sustainable and efficient orchard.
In green and urban spaces
Drawing on its experience in portable power tools and a pioneer in the use of lithium-ion batteries, PELLENC created in 2008 the Green & City Technology division, thus penetrating the market for the maintenance of green and urban spaces. Attentive to user comfort and safety, mindful of the environment, the division develops and markets “zero emission” products. Powered by durable batteries, these powerful, light and silent tools offer clean solutions to effectively meet the challenges of the energy transition.

The Story
PELLENC designs, produces and markets tools and machines that help you work better in harmony with your environment.
In 1973, Roger Pellenc observed and imagined in the middle of the vines of Vaucluse. He already has the idea of innovating to make men's work more efficient and less painful. Pruning is a major step in the vine cycle: he designs a trimmer to facilitate this task. The PELLENC company is born, the success is immediate.
Three years later, a new technological advance with the first hydraulic pruning shears, which reduces effort and increases productivity. PELLENC affirms what will remain its specificity over the years, innovation. Nothing can stop the fertile imagination of Roger Pellenc and his collaborators, the company thus receives numerous awards for its ability to create.
History is marked by research and inventiveness. There is a PELLENC solution for each problem, with a daring approach which often results in small revolutions and more than 1,300 patents!
The 1980s were marked by the first reflections on the mechanization of harvesting in fruit growing. At the end of the decade, PELLENC was one of the forerunners of on-board electronics, both on its harvesting machines and on its secateurs.
It was in 1992 with the Buggy and later the vibrator comb that PELLENC succeeded in mechanizing the harvest of olives, one of the most difficult fruits to pick. More recently, he also designed the first machine adapted to plantations in fruit hedges with strong vegetation: the CV5045 olive towed.
In 1993, PELLENC launched into the mechanization of the harvest and optimized the profitability of its machines with the Multifunction, which allows them to be used throughout the year with different tools.
PELLENC created in 1995 the tying machine for the vine, which offers a remarkable gain in productivity and ensures the management of the mechanized vineyard. A tool so well thought out that both its design and its success have remained the same for 20 years. In 2018, a new generation was born with the FIXION 2 whose battery and coil are on board.
PELLENC invested in the manufacture of its own batteries in the early 2000s, which enabled it to be one of the very first to offer portable power tools with long autonomy thanks to its mastery of lithium-ion technology and its electronic control.
Always paying particular attention to the quality of the harvest, in 2007 PELLENC developed the Selectiv'Process sorting and ginning system for its harvesting machines. Its efficiency makes it a new benchmark, the winegrowers are calling for its adaptation in the cellar!
While the list of innovations is long, PELLENC is just as dynamic from a commercial standpoint.
The 1990s marked the beginnings of international development. Subsidiaries in Spain and Australia are created. The United States, Italy and Slovakia come next. Opening of new offices, development of innovative solutions for each of the markets, the PELLENC group is deployed on five continents with South America, Morocco and China.
At the same time, PELLENC is strengthening its position in the tooling sector with the creation in 2008 of its Green & City Technology division. Combining respect for the environment, user comfort and safety, the division develops and markets “zero emission” products for the maintenance of green and public spaces.
In 2011, Roger Pellenc found with the Edify family fund, an industrial and financial partner who shared his values and his convictions. It allows him to perpetuate his business and ensure the pursuit of its development strategy.
In 2013, PELLENC bought PERA, a benchmark player in the cellar business. This acquisition enables the vertical development of the group's activities from the vineyard to the cellar, with the objective of becoming the world leader in turnkey engineering solutions for the wine industry.
Heirs and actors of these successes, today we all put our energy, and our demands, to continue this tradition of excellence. Our goal has not changed: to imagine and produce innovative tools and machines which, every day, facilitate your work and increase your performance.
