FERRANDO is the last surviving French manufacturer of cutting equipment for the meat industry. This family firm, established in 1947 to meet the requirements of Lyon's textile industry, earned itself a reputation in the meat sector in the 1950s. FERRANDO is essentially a group of mechanical craftsmen, with a highly personal approach to designing their tools. It designs and manufactures a complete range of saws and shears for slaughtering and conversion applications, making it a formidable rival for the importers present on the French market. This is especially true because FERRANDO, although a small company, has brought all its machinery into compliance with the new safety standards.
