key dates in the history of souslikoff
Foundation of SOUSLIKOFF & Cie
Alexandre SOUSLIKOFF creates a maintenance and repair business for agricultural and wine growing equipment in the garage adjoining his house in Sains-Yzans-de-Médoc.
Observing his clients, who are Médoc winegrowers, he begins to invent, manufacture and sell his own range of simple,, robust, innovative tools.
Distributor
The growing company acquires a concession to distribute leading brands of agricultural and viticultural equipment in the Médoc. Meanwhile, the design/manufacturing activity continues to expand, creating many of the tools that still set the standard today (the Decalex and Binalex inter-vine cultivators, the Foralex auger, the Rotalex shredder, etc.). Patent submissions and awards accumulate, and the company acquires new premises, remaining faithful to its birthplace of Saint-Yzans de Médoc.
First succession
The 90s see the arrival of Dominique SOUSLIKOFF, Alexandre’s son, at the head of the company. Under his leadership, a network of distributors is established throughout France to develop sales of the Concept range.
New age of innovation
Innovations continue through the 2000s with the launch of the thermal leaf remover, the Decalex Air and the Soltronic, new products that win several awards.
Opening of the Arcins site
The company continues its development and opens a production site for its Concept range in Arcins, in the southern Médoc, once again underlining its ambitions as a manufacturer.
Acquisition of the group
The company is taken over by Fabrice Martinez, in a spirit of growth based on the company’s values and its multiple areas of expertise.
Today SOUSLIKOFF has around twenty employees divided between three divisions: the dealership, the workshop (maintenance, after-sales service, warehouse) and the production department.SOUSLIKOFF & Cie remercie ses partenaires, pour leur accompagnement et leur confiance
