In 1802 Monsieur Grégoire founded his own smithery in the county of Maine et Loire (49) in the village called Montigné sur Moine.
At the beginning of the twentieth century a descendant of Monsieur Grégoire decided to specialize in the production of agricultural machines. At that time the company had about 10 employees and produced approximately 30 ploughs a year.
In 1959 one of Monsieur Grégoire’s descendants, Alphonse Besson, took control of the firm and founded the Grégoire-Besson Company. After the war, taking advantage of the mechanization of European and French agriculture, the Grégoire Besson Company developed its range of equipment and filed its first patents.
In 1989 the plant and its 90 employees produced mainly ploughs. It was then that the company decided to diversify into stubble-ploughs by purchasing the Bergueneuse Fenet Company which produced mainly disc tools.
This diversification continued with the purchase in 2001 of ASKELL (Quimper) and Wiberg (Sweden), two companies specialized in making tine tools.
With these acquisitions, Gregoire-Besson is now capable of offering its customers a full range of tillers: ploughs, discs and tines as well as planters.
