The story of Otech is a powerful tale of transformation, a journey that began in the early 1980s in a small French town, but was driven by a bold, global ambition. Initially a specialist in manufacturing precision parts for the automotive industry, the company's destiny changed when its expertise in metalworking caught the eye of Lockwood, the American giant in irrigation pivots. This pivotal moment launched Otech into a new world, combining their French manufacturing know-how with the extensive experience of an industry leader, all with a clear strategy to place Research & Development at the very heart of their operations.

    This new venture saw a dazzlingly rapid ascent. By 1993, the factory had expanded to become the very first pivot manufacturer in France. They quickly became not just a follower but a standard-setter, creating the 62-meter span that is now common in the industry. Their engineering prowess was showcased on a global stage in 1999, when they designed and manufactured the world's longest pivot in Argentina, an incredible 1.4 kilometers long. This success fueled a massive growth in exports, and today, Otech is a global force, with around fifty international distributors and 60-70% of its turnover generated outside of France.

    This success is built upon a foundation of deep expertise and complete in-house control. The Otech team is incredibly experienced, with over 80% of its employees having more than a decade of specialized knowledge in irrigation. This human capital is empowered by a fully integrated production chain. From a design office equipped with 3D CAD tools for creating custom prototypes, to a vast 3-hectare raw material park and an 11,000-square-meter production center utilizing robotics, every step of the process is managed internally.

    Otech has masterfully integrated the latest technologies, not only in its manufacturing but also in its products, offering sophisticated remote management systems for precise irrigation control. These innovations are not developed in isolation; they are the result of permanent exchanges with the farmers and customers who use their equipment. After more than four decades, the story of Otech is one of a company that successfully pivoted to become a world leader, offering a complete, custom-engineered irrigation solution, forged by experience and driven by a relentless ambition to innovate.
