A FAMILY STORY
“At the origin of this creation is Claude FAIVRE. In the 1950s, Claude Faivre was a miller and then a fish farmer. Over the years, his business grew and the work became more and more difficult. Mr Faivre created the first automatic trout grading machine, the Calibromatic. The mechanizations foundations of fish farming were in motion.”
“In 1961, he started his business in the family mills workshop. Very quickly, the 300m² structure became too small. In 1973, Claude FAIVRE decided to set up his company in Baume-Les-Dames and built an 800m² factory, which today covers 7000m². From the beginning of the 1960s, the former grader met with great success in France and beyond the borders. The first fish graders were sold in France, Germany and Italy, exports have always been one of the company’s main drivers. 1985, Claude Faivre was even awarded with the National Order of Merit by François Mitterrand for his dynamism in exports. Sixty years later, more than 80% of the company’s annual turnover is generated abroad.
In 2006, Claude FAIVRE started to design a new machine and designed a 6″” fish pump. This pump is the last one that the founder of the company will design, and it is a success! In 2012, the 6” fish pump is commercialized, followed by the 8”, 2,5”, and finally the 10”. The fish pump has played a key role in the development of the family business, indeed, FAIVRE Group becomes a major player in the live fish pumps manufacture.”
FAIVRE is at this time the only company to offer a complete range of grading packs for fish farms with sizes in between 0.5g and 3.5 kg. This makes FAIVRE Group one of the world leaders in its branch.

OUR KNOW-HOW
Qualified employees, modern and efficient design and production equipment: 3D machine design, digitally controlled lathes and folding machines, latest generation laser cutting, etc. After being designed by the design office and then cut and folded by our production teams, all the parts are mounted in the assembly workshop. Each device is assembled and then tested in our pond to ensure a quality machine that meets all the expected characteristics. In parallel, all the electrical installations (cabinet, cable section) of the machines are designed and checked by our team of electricians.
Launch of prototypes and field tests before production start up
FAIVRE Group has a team of draftsmen and designers constituting the Design Office. Their know-how is used in the design of machines on 3D modelling software. Our prototypes are then tested on the field, with partner customers. Thanks to these partnerships and to feedback from users, Faivre Group is able to produce the most suitable machines for fish farmers. Reliable, robust, efficient and easy to use machines.
