Simon

Country of origin: France

Simon is a French manufacturer of vegetable-growing machinery, founded in 1978. It is based in Divatte-sur-Loire, in the market-gardening valley along the Loire near Nantes, and is part of Simon Group.

Its range runs from soil preparation to harvest: cultirateaux and cultigrilles to prepare beds, steam soil disinfection, leek planters, and harvesters for carrots, beets, turnips, leeks, onions, and salad greens. Its machines are designed for vegetable growers and the food industry.

Albion represents and distributes Simon in Argentina; it does not manufacture these machines. Our best-selling Simon equipment is carrot harvesters: the upstream piece of the process, which connects directly with Albion's washing, sizing, and packing lines.

Upstream of our carrot lines

The Simon harvester is the upstream step to Albion processing. It lifts carrots from the field, delivers them tops-free and ready to enter the washing line. Together with the Newtec weigher at the end of the process, it completes the field → harvest → washing → sizing → packing flow, all with equipment represented by Albion.
