Exel Industries: what insiders have been doing
Exel Industries, founded in 1952, is a Industry company based in Paris, France. Its directors and officers file their transactions with AMF. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 5 filings came from 1 insider.
Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 5 purchases worth €70k, from 1 insider, and not a single sale. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Those buying include 1 chief executive. Biggest ticket of the year: €30k, bought by Marc BALLU and made public on 30 July 2026 (0.022% of market cap).
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 30 July 2026, 79 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by AMF is 36 days. For comparison, MAR article 19 gives managers three business days to notify a trade.
Across the 316 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 5 filings, this issuer sits below that mark. The full history, which starts in 2021, counts 17 purchases against 5 sales.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: Tennant Co and Butler National Corp. Every figure here comes from the filings published by AMF and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

About Exel Industries
EXEL Industries is a French listed industrial group specializing in spraying solutions, agricultural equipment, leisure products and selected industrial applications. The company designs, manufactures and markets high-tech equipment and systems used to apply liquids or coatings efficiently, while also serving mechanized agriculture, garden watering, nautical products and industrial spraying. In its 2024–2025 reporting, EXEL Industries describes itself as a global leader in spraying solutions, operating in more than 30 countries across 3 markets and 6 business areas. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Group reported revenue of €983 million.
The Group’s roots go back to 1946, when Vincent Ballu, father of current Chairman Patrick Ballu, invented, developed and built the first high-clearance tractor for the Champagne vineyards supplying Moët & Chandon. That invention became the foundation of a long industrial trajectory in vineyard mechanization and agricultural spraying. In 1997, TECNOMA adopted the name EXEL Industries and was listed on the Paris stock exchange, marking the transition from a family industrial business into a listed international group. The family dimension remains important today, with the EXEL (SAS) holding controlled by the Ballu family.
