In 1927, a French farmer opened a tiny repair shop near Paris. By 1970, his company was building 160-ton excavators powered by three diesel engines—the largest hydraulic machines the world had ever seen.
This is Poclain. The company that revolutionized earthmoving, sold machines in 180 countries, employed 10,000 workers... and then lost it all.
Georges Bataille wasn't an engineer. He was a farmer who got tired of broken equipment. What started as a repair shop became an empire that dominated construction sites from Europe to Asia. Their TY45 excavator—with its strange three-wheeled design—sold 30,000 units worldwide. Their monstrous EC1000 proved hydraulics could compete with cable shovels at any scale.
Then came 1973. The oil crisis. The recession. And a slow, painful slide into American ownership.
This is the story of a family, a revolution, and an empire built on hydraulic fluid.
