SULKY Parts | Extranet Products Services News Company Contact Search for: Acquisition by the BUREL group of FRANDENT GROUP 27 July 2021 On July 1st 2021, the BUREL Group acquired a majority stake in FRANDENT GROUP, a company based in Osasco (Italy) that designs and produces agricultural machinery. The agreement provides for the subsequent purchase in 2025 of the remaining shares still held by the founder, Ezio BRUNO. This investment is part of the “Farming Together” project, which aims to develop the BUREL group in Europe. The acquisition is the result of a partnership that began in 2001. FRANDENT manufactures rotary harrows from 3.00 m to 8.00 m in size for the SULKY brand. Historically, seed drill manufacturers did not produce rotary harrows and vice versa. The arrival of combined seed drills has pushed manufacturers to offer solutions that combine seed drills and harrows. This is why the BUREL group approached the Italian company FRANDENT in 2001 with the aim of offering integrated seed drill combinations. Since the start of the partnership in 2001, FRANDENT has manufactured more than 10,000 rotary harrows for the SULKY brand. FRANDENT is also known for its wide range of haymaking equipment. The company is specialised in the production of 23 models of tedders and swathers ranging from 2.00 m to 8.40 m wide. This agreement allows Ezio BRUNO, the owner and manager of the company, to safeguard and sustain FRANDENT’s activity. It also allows SULKY to ensure the long-term manufacture of its rotary harrows associated with its TRAMLINE, MASTER, PROGRESS and TF seed drills. The two directors are very pleased with this agreement which guarantees the continued presence of the FRANDENT GROUP in Italy. Julien BUREL, CEO of the BUREL Group“We are happy to integrate FRANDENT into our family group. This company has real know-how and recognised expertise in the field of power take-off tools. Our desire is to consolidate and develop this activity in Italy”. Ezio BRUNO, CEO of FRANDENT“I am pleased to see my family business become part of a family group. FRANDENT was founded by my father and the transfer to the BUREL group will ensure its future continues serenely. I will be present during this transition to ensure that it is successful.
