ln 1984, Our Chairman Daniel Delmas invented the world's first electric pruning shears: ELECTROCOUP. France
INFACO S. A. was then founded as a family business with authentic values.
In 1985, at the SITEVI international exhibition in Montpellier, Daniel Delmas won the Golden Palm Award
for Best innovation for his invention. INFACO SA sold its first 500 ELECTROCOUP shears during the 3
days of that trade show.
Since that success, "Customer Satisfaction" has been INFACO's motto, and it has continually striven
to improve the ELECTROCOUP to keep its professional wine-growing, oil-growing, fruit growing,
and park and garden clients loyal.
In almost 40 years, INFACO has designed, produced and sold over 400,000 pruning shears, the
F3020 being the 9th generation.
Currently, INFACO is an international business selling its tools in over forty-five countries.

professionals. This pride in work well done and
global customer satisfaction made the company’s 1987 electrocoup 2
reputation. Since then, our teams have been working

F3020: The new reference
The F3020 electric pruning shear is the worthy heir to the F3015. After over 6 years of research,
tests and fine-tuning, INFACO is proud to present its latest model of pruning shears. A genuine
concentrate of technology, the F3020 builds on the highly respected F3015 technical base
adding many improvements to allow our clients to continue using the best tool available
on the market.
Even more effective than the F3015, the F3020 has higher cutting speeds and
improved work comfort.
Lighter, more compact and easier to handle than the previous generations, the
F3020 once again demonstrates the brand’s will to satisfy the greatest number.
Loaded with technological advances, the pruning shear can now be “connected”
using an optional Bluetooth® box. This new system makes it possible to report
highly relevant data in order to achieve ever more effective pruning work.
This connectivity option combined with the INFACO® application provides
the possibility of making a multitude of adjustments directly from a ALUMINIUM BODY
smartphone (adjustable blade opening management, blade crossing, The aluminium body, the
new Soft mode speed configuration, etc.) but also offers advanced major component for
reading and analysis of the data collected during the device’s use. attaching all the pruning

special aeronautics alloy), is

HARD WIRED DSES: as an Option
Contrary to the Wireless system, the “hard wired” DSES option requires wearing an INFACO conductive glove to operate.
The glove is connected to a specific “hard wired DSES F3020” power supply cable.
As soon as the cutting head comes into contact with the conductive glove, the pruning shears blade opens instantly,
thereby preventing accidents!
The hard wired DSES system provides user protection while reducing eventual unintended openings on damp wood,

The connected control box: as an option
Thanks to the latest connectivity innovations, the F3020 pruning shear can be “connected” using an extra, optional
