Our innovations


A sustained Research & Development policy


The MAF RODA Group devotes an average of 3% of its annual turnover to technological innovation. These continuous investment efforts in research have led MAF RODA to possess numerous patents linked to major technological developments enabling it to offer its customers the most cutting-edge tools, to best meet the requirements of their markets.
The six research hubs of MAF RODA provide solutions closely matched to our customer's needs:

  • electronics / IT,
  • traceability,
  • mechanical engineering,
  • automation,
  • electricity,
  • site set-up.

Our prototypes and systems are developed and tested in our workshops and placed in real-life situations, in particular at the fruit-growing station of the MAF RODA Group, at Domaine de la Moutounade.
