INFACO, the pioneer of professional electric pruning shears, has just won another innovation medal (in the Corporate Social Responsibility category) at the Sparkling Wine Trade Fair for its Contactless safety system. This prize adds to an already impressive list of awards for our company, which has been recognised for over 40 years for its advances in Research & Development in agriculture (viticulture, arboriculture, olive growing, landscaping, green spaces, livestock farming, etc.).
With this award, INFACO has once again confirmed its position as a leader in safety and performance.
The Contactless device represents a major advance in protection for pruners, particularly in wine and fruit growing. Unlike traditional systems, it requires no conductive gloves or wires. Thanks to on-board technology, the pruning shears automatically detect the opposite hand approaching the blade and instantly open the cut to avoid any accidents by anticipating the danger.
This system creates a "protective bubble" around the cutting head, adjustable in three sizes via the INFACO mobile app or directly on the pruning shear. The tool effectively protects pruners while respecting their working habits and comfort.
At Viteff 2025, five innovative projects were rewarded for their contribution to the wine sector. In addition to INFACO's medal, the competition highlighted :
These awards underline the creativity and commitment of the sector and confirm the sparkling wine exhibition as a key showcase for research and development. INFACO would like to warmly thank the show, Epernay Agglo Champagne, the members of the Viteff jury and especially the Mumm vineyards for selecting our entry in the Corporate Social Responsibility category.
