EXEL Industries, a family-owned industrial and diversified group

EXEL Industries is a listed French family-owned industrial group that designs, manufactures and markets capital goods and related services that enable its customers to improve efficiency and productivity, contribute to the pleasure of living, and achieve their environmental and social objectives. Present in over 30 countries, the Group operates in 3 markets and 6 business areas.

The story of EXEL Industries began in 1946, when Vincent Ballu, father of Patrick Ballu, current Chairman of the Board of Directors, invented and built the first “high-clearance tractor”. At the time, it was destined for the Champagne vineyards of the famous Moët & Chandon house. In 1952, Vincent Ballu founded Tecnoma, which today is part of the family-owned EXEL Industries group.
