Founded in 2014 as a merger of Furnaces Nuclear Applications Grenoble SAS (FNAG) and Thermique Industrie Vide SAS (TIV) specialized in furnaces for heat treatment, ALD France is actually a new company with a long history.
The forerunners DEGUSSA and ALD were suppliers of sintering furnaces for nuclear fuel.
Since its origin, ALD France has been delivering furnaces and transferring know-how for the sintering of nuclear fuel pellets since 1971.
Furnace Nuclear Application Grenoble, FNAG, was founded in 2008 out of the nuclear division of ALD-VT to work on the MOX USA project.
Thermique Industrie Vide, TIV, was created in 1994 by two technology maniacs, Claude Maiffret and Philippe Segovia, who decided to start a business for custom-designed heat-treatment furnaces.
They haven’t stopped to work on challenging projects ever since.
