On November 15 and 16, 2025, G. GILLARD SAS had the honor of presenting its KROKKO compactor at "The Great Exhibition of Made in France", a prestigious event organized at the Elysée to showcase French innovation and know-how in industry.

National recognition for French innovation

Being selected by the Seine-et-Marne prefecture and the national jury to represent French industrial excellence was a true honor for our team. The KROKKO 25 m³, a high-load, monobloc dockside compactor, was praised for its ability to optimize waste management while ensuring the safety of the facilities.

KROKKO: a high-performance and safe compactor

The KROKKO compactor is distinguished by:

Usable volume of 25 m³, significantly greater than conventional compactors (10 to 15 m³)
A force of 90 tonnes at 220 bar, controlled by two 45-tonne hydraulic cylinders
Significant reduction in waste volume and a 2 to 6-fold reduction in transport costs, depending on the type of waste.
Securing the flow of goods, preventing theft (especially of scrap metal)

Thanks to these features, the KROKKO represents an efficient and sustainable solution for waste disposal sites and industrial sites, combining performance, safety and innovation.
