Origin

Born of one douar.
At home in every field.

In 1973, Yann Kerlann took a single tractor across the Finistère hills, working other people's fields when his own had been worked. The name on the side of the trailer was the Breton word for the earth itself — douar.

Fifty-three harvests later, that one tractor has become a fleet of three hundred, working partner farms from Finistère to Romania. The name has not moved. Neither has the principle: the work belongs to the land, the land belongs to the people on it, and we belong to both.

Breizh ma c'halon — Brittany, my heart.
Vision · Pal

To become the world's largest agricultural contractor —
without forgetting the douar that started us.
