TECH-Elitt

Bonnabaud systems is a family-owned business which was founded back in 1935 in Roanne in France. Mr. Bonnabaud later handed it down to his son, grandson and great grandson, Eric Delmau, who is currently running the company. In 2020, Eric Delmau unfortunately had to close the company due to the backlash of the COVID period. The company was re-founded in 2023 under the more modern name “TECH-Elitt”.

Just like Ikeuchi and Mendizza, TECH-Elitt has its roots in the textile industry. TECH-Elitt (then Bonnabaud) started as a French distributor for Ikeuchi through Mendizza back in the 90’s. Back then they mainly sold AKIMist for the textile industry. When Ikeuchi opened its European subsidiary in 2008, TECH-Elitt became a direct distributor of Ikeuchi products and gradually started to incorporate all spray nozzle products into their consulting service as well. Today, TECH-Elitt is serving many industries in France with humidification systems and spray nozzles; From printing to electronics, painting and plastics, to wine, automotive and the food industry. The food industry is a big market in France and especially for cheese, meat, packaged food, mushrooms and of course wine.

AKIMist still remains the main market for TECH-Elitt and it is also the favorite Ikeuchi product of Mr. Delmau:
“Whenever I am on the road, I always bring a portable AKIMist to show customers how easy it is to use and how fine the mist is”.
