1945 to 1960  The transplanters

Edmond RIBOULEAU, blacksmith in Largeasse in the Deux-S่vres (France), takes an interest in the problems of transplanting and takes out a patent for the PREFEREE transplanter. The product is a success; it is further improved and becomes the SUPER PREFER, the only approved machine for tobacco transplanting. Manufacturing is industrialized and exports begin.


1960 to 1972
   The precision planters

Early in the 60's a precision planter with a mechanical metering system by horizontal plate is designed together with a guidable cultivator.
Development on the planter continues with a special sugarbeet planter with a metering system by vertical cell wheel. Manufacturing increases, a second factory is built in Largeasse and sub-contracting is widely developed.

The pneumatic precision planter is launched and obtains the silver medal at the International Farm Show in Paris.
