MS Petanque : production petanque ball

MS Petanques is a french petanque balls brand based in Nogent, in the Haute-Marne (french department). She belongs to VMS-Plot, established in 1994, whose initials refer to the two founders (Vartan Berberian et Marle) as well as his godfather Henri Salvador. This famous french singer was also a passionate petanque !

The life cycle of MS Petanque balls

Today MS Petanque has a stock of several thousand triplets. Despite this huge immobilization of money, sometimes we have to wait patiently for our customers. This is due to a specific manufacturing cycle.

Example for Cara inox 74mm: 

Stock status
Signification	1 - End of fabrication stocks are full all weights are available	2 - Balls sale all references are available stocks are falling	3 - Rupture > launch of manufacturing a weight is no longer available a production of 74mm, all weights, is launched

The homemade craft of a ball MS Petanque

Petanque balls MS Petanque are manufactured by diameter, as illustrated above. That is, when a weight for a given diameter is missing, a new production of this diameter is made. Several hundred balls are produced. At the end, they are sorted according to the weights produced, from the lightest weight to the heaviest weight. Triplets are formed in this way. The final quantity of triplets available by weight / diameter is only known at the end of production. This last lasts 5 to 6 weeks.

At PetanqueShop, we indicate the available models with a green line in each product sheet. If your need is urgent, we advise you to refer to the weight closest to that desired, knowing that MS Petanque offers weights of 5g in 5g (680g, 685g, 690g, 695g, etc.). But you can also quite expect the return to stock of the exact weight desired!

The advantages of high precision MS Petanque technology

MS Petanque stands out from other brands thanks to its forging process. It is the only manufacturer to use this technique. The balls obtained thus have an integral fibering, which allows an internal anti-rebound structure (patented system).

This technology has the following main advantages:

• perfect balancing
• limited rebound and reduced decline
• homogeneous and consistent behavior regardless of the point of impact
