Lagarde Autoclaves

Lagarde Autoclaves is a French industrial equipment manufacturer specialising in autoclaves and retorts for thermal treatment. Founded in 1921 in Montélimar, France, the company has built a century of experience in pressure-vessel technology and today describes itself as the worldwide leader in autoclaves and the only group devoted entirely to pressure vessels. Its core technology is the Steam and Air process, which it presents as the most energy-efficient method for thermal treatment, and its product range covers quick-closing doors, retorts and complete thermal-treatment systems for the food and pharmaceutical industries. The company operates internationally, supported by a network of around 45 commercial partners and a workforce of roughly 425 employees across the group. Its equipment is used in a wide field of well-known applications, and Lagarde emphasises tailor-made products, safety, reliability, sustainability and productivity as the pillars of its offering. Customer support spans the whole project cycle, from selecting the right solution to after-sales service and assistance. In 1983 Lagarde Autoclaves joined the Scholz Group, a retorts manufacturer for heavy industries, forming what the company describes as the largest worldwide retort manufacturing group, with 500,000 doors and retorts sold. The group is presented as having a turnover of around 95 million and 425 people. Lagarde positions its century of experience and its Steam and Air technology as a commitment to sustainable development, summed up in its stated golden rule: produce with humility with a better ecological footprint.
