About · CZN Machinery

Direct importer,

Our story
2019The beginnings

Born of frustration

The situation was simple: French tradespeople paid three times the real price for their machines, caught between European brands with inflated prices and opaque platforms with no after-sales. CZN Machinery was born of that frustration, in Toulouse, with a first container imported directly.

We travelled to the source, met the manufacturers, and selected chassis built to last. We brought them back directly, with no middleman, to our warehouse in Toulouse. International components — Kubota and Yanmar engines, Rexroth pumps — at a price 30 to 50 % below the European market.

2021The range

The range takes shape

Launch of the Sonca range and structuring of the catalogue. At the same time, the partnership with Sofinco opened up instalment financing — the machine becomes affordable without tying up cash flow.

2023After-sales

After-sales takes root

Setting up a France-based after-sales service, with a workshop and a spare-parts stock. Common parts are available within 48 h — the promise is no longer just the price, but operational continuity.

A word from the founder

Laurent
Cazenave
President
& Founder

I founded CZN Machinery in 2019 with a simple conviction: French tradespeople deserved access to the same machines as large companies, without breaking the bank.

By sourcing directly from manufacturers, we removed the middlemen and made access to professional equipment fair. It is not just a business model — it is a way of respecting the work of people on the ground.

Today, more than 5,500 customers later, I am proud to lead a team that shares the same standard: honest advice, responsive after-sales, fair prices. We do not sell machines — we help professionals build their business.

“The same machine, at a fair price.”
