Who are we?
Axitherm was founded in 2002 on the initiative of Mr Alain Fournial, retort expert and company manager,
to provide high-performance measuring instruments and efficient services to the agri-food industry.
Since its creation, Axitherm has won several innovation awards. It stands out for its ability to push back the technical boundaries generally applied. A company which is totally independent of any organization or machine manufacturer, Axitherm’s goal is to help industrialists to make the best use of their technical equipment such as pasteurizers, sterilizers and ovens.
This ambitious goal is implemented in the form of:
• training courses for production and R&D personnel
• manufacture of measurement instruments dedicated to thermal treatment
• hire of these measurement instruments to facilitate occasional engineering studies
• provision of high level technical services
• line audit
• optimization of production processes
• construction of pasteurisation or sterilisation processes for sensitive products and packaging
• thermal mapping of equipment and qualification of the acceptance processes implemented
Axitherm’s size means that it can be highly responsive to its customers’ needs. Axitherm works with a network of development engineers to ensure the relevance and efficiency of any new research. Building on over 30 years’ experience in packaging and sterilisation processes, Mr Fournial, retort expert, offers you his experience as a decision-making aid or technical support for your developments and to resolve your production problems.
