SARL James is not just a family business; it is a testament to the power of combining tradition with modern technology. With a dedicated team of 20 workers, the company has embraced both the heritage and the advancements necessary to succeed in today's competitive agricultural landscape. The secret to their continued success lies in their unwavering dedication to quality and progress.
In 2008, Julien James joined the family business, learning the ins and outs of SARL James. By 2013, he had transitioned into management, taking over from his father Joel. Julien, now 36, brings a vision for progress, innovation, and sustainability to the company. His leadership embodies the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, ensuring SARL James remains at the forefront of agricultural excellence.
Julien's innovative approach is complemented by the support of BKT tyres, which play a crucial role in the company's operations. With BKT’s high-performance tyres like the AGRIMAX FORCE, using IF (Improved Flexion) technology to enhance agricultural operations, and the RIDEMAX FL 693 M, specifically developed for trailers and tankers, Julien ensures that SARL James can meet all their demanding agricultural needs.
"Our partnership with BKT tyres has been instrumental in maintaining the high standards of our operations. The performance and reliability of BKT tyres align perfectly with our goals of quality and innovation," says Julien James.
Another key figure in SARL James's success is Mickaël Fauchon, a respected agricultural machinery driver with an impressive 30 years of experience. Since joining the company in 1995, Mickaël has become an expert in both driving and maintaining a wide range of agricultural machinery. His fascination with powerful machines began at a young age, and his dream to work with agricultural machinery became a reality at SARL James.
Known for his commitment to efficiency and soil preservation, Mickaël prefers using BKT tyres because they ensure smooth operations and minimal wear. His expertise and dedication have been vital in upholding the SARL James legacy through three generations, making him an invaluable asset to the team.
One of the key elements in SARL James's impressive track record is their reliance on BKT tyres. Known for their high performance and durability, BKT tyres are integral to the company's operations. From IF and VF (Very High Flexion) tyres, which provide superior load capacity and reduced soil compaction, to specially designed trailer tyres that enhance efficiency, BKT products support SARL James in tackling demanding agricultural tasks with ease.
SARL James's biggest activity is slurry application, and their tractors and slurry tanks are equipped with BKT RIDEMAX FL 693 M tyres for optimal performance. Additionally, the company stays up-to-date with the latest agricultural technologies, like Teleinflation, to preserve the soil. For these tasks, they rely on BKT’s IF and VF tyres on their higher power tractors.
The synergy between SARL James and BKT tyres exemplifies a mutual dedication to excellence. BKT's cutting-edge tyre technology ensures that SARL James can continue to push the boundaries of agricultural productivity, while the James family's rich legacy provides a strong foundation for future growth. Their story is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of family legacy, coupled with a forward-thinking approach. With BKT tyres as their trusted partner, SARL James continues to lead the way in agricultural innovation, ensuring a prosperous future for generations to come.
