About us

It all started with a DIY project

An uncle who grows vegetables asked us for a motorised weeding bed: built with whatever we had to hand, it still weeds his carrots, beetroot and onions every year.

Back to the problem

After studying agricultural robotics and gaining professional experience in industry, we met many growers to understand their needs: physical strain, labour shortages and mechanisation.

Building the prototype

Those meetings led to the idea of a modular Straddler, which we built in our Saint-Malo workshop and field-tested all summer.

Patent and commercial launch at SIVAL

After successful trials, we patented the modular architecture and unveiled at SIVAL a version of the Straddler improved with growers' feedback.

The 10th Straddler delivered

After two production runs, the tenth Straddler was delivered to a market gardener near Montpellier!

Building a factory in Saint-Malo

To keep up with growing demand, we built a higher-capacity factory, with vegetable beds on site to speed up R&D in real-world conditions!

5 years and 50 machines delivered!

Everything is speeding up in 2026 with the arrival of the Broco'lit! Market gardener customers and friends of Romanesco are helping us blow out our 5 candles.
