Established in the Nantes region since 1943, BRC designs, produces and markets pest control equipment. Initially an electrician manufacturing transformers, BRC has made stainless steel and UV its core competencies.
Created by Charles Robert Bouché in 1943 who gave it its name. At the time of its creation, the company manufactured transformers for gas boilers. Later, it specialized in the treatment of tobacco smoke. In the mid 70’s, the company changed its activity and dedicated itself to pest control products.
BRC has been manufacturing insect killers, knife sterilization cabinets, air purifiers, misters and infrared heaters for over 40 years. Its products are intended for professionals in the food industry and the food trade. Established on a niche market, it is the leader in France.
Today, with a staff of about 35 people, its production space in line and in islands allows it to produce on 2,000 m2, small, medium and large series of insect killers, all IECCE certified. It ships to more than 40 countries through solid partnerships that provide information on the ground, which is vital for the development of its products.
