The Maf Roda Group completes the acquisition of Caustier

The family-owned MAF RODA Group, one of the leading global players in tailored and turnkey solutions for the calibration, sorting, and automatic packaging of fresh fruits and vegetables, announces the signing of an agreement to acquire CAUSTIER, a company based in Perpignan, specialized in designing sorting and packaging machines for the horticultural sector.

On October 23rd, the MAF RODA Group completed the acquisition of CAUSTIER. This merger between the two companies, specialized in engineering, design, and manufacturing of post-harvest machinery solutions, signifies a true alliance and presents clear synergies benefiting the packaging market players. Within this agreement, the MAF RODA Group will bring its expertise in electronic quality sorting and its experience in automatic and robotic packaging to CAUSTIER.

With over 1,200 employees globally and production centers worldwide in France, Spain, Portugal, the USA, Australia, Mexico, and China, as well as sales and after-sales service centers in Italy, Chile, Peru, South Africa, and New Zealand, the MAF RODA Group strengthens its presence and location in the heart of the Perpignan region through the acquisition of CAUSTIER, enhancing its proximity service in the region.

With this acquisition, the MAF RODA Group expands its production capacity with the ZAC Belair plant in Perpignan.
