Presentation

THE HISTORY OF ORVALEX

Orvalex has been active in the automation of feed dispensing for breeders for nearly 40 years. Today, the company's activities cover both the local and international markets.

Over the years its structure and organisation have enabled Orvalex to adapt to the market and remain flexible in order to satisfy breeders' needs.

Since its founding, ORVALEX's aim has been to automate the dispensing of the ration of feed by offering equipment that is easy to use, tough and long lasting.

At this time of mondialisation and mergers between large breeding equipment groups, ORVALEX is determined to remain accessible and listen to breeders in order to constantly improve its products.
