Olive-growing Pellenc - olive harvesting : olivium, vibror, buggy

In the late 1980s PELLENC offered its European customers a relatively broad range, from the simple trunk vibrator to automatic trailers. At the start of the 1990s the group's strategy turned towards the creation of a range of exclusive machines designed for olive harvesting, with a clear orientation towards Spanish olive plantations. Technically, this range was inspired by the technology developed during the 1980s, but perfectly adapted to the requirements of this new market.

PELLENC s.a. developed its first trunk vibrators in 1985. The first machines were intended mainly for the fruit tree market (particularly cherry trees).

Key dates of this launch:

1991 : The first two PELLENC self-driven vibrators, the famous "BUGGIES", launched on the Spanish market.
1993 : Official presentation of the SPECIAL SPANISH OLIVE-GROWING RANGE (4 machines) at the EXPOLIVA international trade fair in Jaén.

From then on, PELLENC vibrators began to be marketed in Andalusia with the opening of a specialist workshop in Jaén at the end of 1993, and then the setup of the headquarters of PELLENC IBERICA (Pellenc s.a. subsidiary) in Jaén in 1994. The range was developed during the 1990s to adapt it to the maximum number of olive plantations. Since the setup of the subsidiary in Jaén, the PELLENC IBERICA technical team have had a strong influence on product development, working in close cooperation with the teams at French headquarters
