Priker Writes a New Chapter in Its Story and Strengthens Its Industrial Roots

Priker is entering a new phase of its development under the leadership of a new executive duo, supported by leading financial and institutional partners. This marks a decisive milestone for the French pioneer in autonomous agricultural robotics, as the company aims to consolidate its industrial foundations and accelerate its growth across European markets.

A Complementary Duo at the Helm of Priker

Priker leadership is now shared by Antoine Monville, an experienced Toulouse-based entrepreneur and industrialist specializing in technological and industrial project management, and Matthias Carriere, Priker long-standing Sales Director with more than ten years of experience in the company.

Their collaboration combines strategic vision and deep agricultural expertise, serving a shared mission of sustainable growth.

• Antoine Monville (CEO) brings 25 years of experience in entrepreneurship and industrial management. He will oversee engineering, innovation, and production.
• Matthias Carriere (COO) takes on the role of Chief Operating Officer, responsible for sales teams, customer support, and the distributor network.

They are supported by Jean-Marc Nozeran, former President of Continental Automotive France, who now chairs Priker Supervisory Board, bringing his extensive industrial expertise to the project.

This new chapter is being written with the support of committed shareholders and public institutions — Mirova, Bpifrance, and the Occitanie Region (through its ARIS fund). Together, they are backing this relaunch with a comprehensive €6.4 million financing plan designed to strengthen Priker industrial structure, accelerate production, and consolidate its commercial presence in France and abroad. The French agricultural robotics market is estimated to reach €3 billion by 2030 (source: FranceAgriMer), while the global market could reach €98 billion by 2033 (source: Spherical Insights).

Priker: A Pioneer in Autonomous Agricultural Robotics

Founded in 2011 in Escalquens, France, Priker Technologies designs and manufactures 100% electric and autonomous robots that support the agroecological transition. Recognized for their reliability and performance, Priker solutions help reduce input use, relieve the strain of manual labor, and improve farm profitability. With over 350 robots deployed and operations on five continents, Priker has established itself as a key player in the agriculture of tomorrow.

Priker robots enable farmers to reduce herbicide use by 50–70% (studies: Canada PRR03-250, Syngenta 2024) and save up to 800 working hours per year. Their lightweight, fully electric design minimizes soil compaction, reduces emissions, and improves working conditions — addressing the global challenges of sustainability, profitability, and food sovereignty.
