Who is ALGI?

Algi Equipements is France's leading manufacturer of lubrication equipment for industry, transport, public works and agriculture.

A company almost a century old

Founded in 1923 in Lyon under the name SARL F. Durand, the company changed its name when it was bought by Jean Lacroix in 1932 and moved to Scionzier in Haute Savoie. Today, Algi Equipements is 100% family-owned and managed by Jean's grandchildren. With the 4th generation joining the company in 2015, the family saga continues.

Historically specialized in turning cycle parts, Algi Equipements' activities gradually evolved from the 1950s onwards, to focus on lubrication and greasing

At first, Algi offered manual equipment, including the famous "Pro" grease gun, of which we still produce over 13,000 a year in our workshops. The range then expanded in the 90s, with the introduction of pneumatic greasing systems, followed by workshop equipment.

In 2001, the company acquired Tecalemit's lubrication business. This company, founded in 1922, was the inventor of pressure lubrication with a simple hook-and-loop fastener.

In the early 2000s, the production of turned parts for activities other than lubrication and greasing became increasingly important. In 2003, Algi took a major turning point in the development of its business: the company was split into 2 separate entities:

Algi Equipements, responsible for marketing greasing and lubrication equipment to a network of professional distributors and key accounts.
Algi industrie, specializing in traditional or NC bar turning, parting and machining on special machines. The company has moved a few kilometers away from its historic site, with its 60 machines and over 40 employees, to new premises of over 3,000 m² better suited to the production of parts and sub-assemblies. In addition to manufacturing Algi brand products, the company also works for numerous customers in the automotive, electrical and consumer goods industries.
