Our history
A manufacturer of special machines and robotics for over 40 years, SERAAP’s history began in the 1980s with the design of special machines for the textile industry. In 2009, the story took a decisive turn when Jérémy BÉNÉTEAU, then Technical Director at ERAAP, and Louis MENANTEAU joined forces. Both had mechanical engineering backgrounds.
Located just outside of Cholet(France), SERAAP was founded by Michel BROCHU in the 1980s to develop special machines for the textile, clothing and footwear industries.
In response to the downturn in the textile industry in the 1990s, the company opened up to new business sectors.
Jérémy BÉNÉTEAU and Louis MENANTEAU take over SERAAP. Visionary and passionate, they quickly identified the market’s growing need for advanced technology. Together, they refocused the company’s strategy, giving it a new lease of life and a clear, forward-looking direction.
SOURCING business started up in Poland.
R&D activity was introduced in 2013 to respond to more innovative projects.
Construction of a new building, development of cobotics…

Our expertise in industrial equipment development is at your service to meet all your challenges. We look forward to discussing your project!
We approached SERAAP with a very specific requirement, which was to design and install an assembly line for the manufacture of slatted panels. We had already developed and tested an innovative product, so the next step was to find a partner to develop and produce this automated process. SERAAP knew exactly what we wanted and responded to our request very efficiently! The collaboration was a real success!
We would like to share our satisfaction with our collaboration with SERAAP. In the agricultural sector, requirements are very specific, and the traditional equipment manufacturers are not always able to meet them. This is where SERAAP stands out as the partner of choice for special machinery requirements. Their professionalism, attentive listening and ability to understand specific needs and propose appropriate solutions is highly commendable!
We were looking for a local company that could develop a panel of special machine integrators for us. We therefore had the opportunity to work with SERAAP on two very specific projects. We would like to emphasise SERAAP's ability to provide us with solutions tailored to our requirements and the seriousness with which the whole team worked throughout the implementation of our projects, reinforcing our confidence in them. It is for these reasons that we will be renewing our collaboration with SERAAP in the future.
