The Jouan Group

The JOUAN Group is well established in the market for standard bioinstruments and offers equipment such as: deep freezers, centrifuges, CO2 incubators, and laminar air flow cabinets

Winchester, USA

The Robotics Division uses the JOUAN Group’s international organization to sell its products. Each local Jouan subsidiary houses a JOUAN Robotics business unit responsible for direct sales, support and service for robotics products.

Allerød, Denmark

Part of the JOUAN Group’s success lies in its commitment to its customers and after sales service that is a central point of the JOUAN strategy. In order to provide customers with the best training programs and permanent technical assistance, additional resources involving highly trained technicians have been allocated for Robotics products.

   

 

Research and Development

The JOUAN Group employs some 80 engineers in its R&D departments. Three centers in France are responsible for freezers, incubators, and robotics, the center in Italy – centrifuges and motors, the center in Denmark – laminar air flow cabinets, freeze dryers, baths and the US center – product adaptation.

Manufacturing

The JOUAN Group strives to provide appropriately priced products. This strategy is made possible by careful cost control and the industrial manufacturing strength of the JOUAN Group. Almost all of the basic components are manufactured in JOUAN plants.

This allows JOUAN the ability to produce these parts according to company specifications and thus control the quality of all parts used in JOUAN instrumentation. JOUAN designs and manufactures its own centrifuges motors. Most recently, JOUAN has introduced a totally new drive for the GR4 Auto automated centrifuge that is perfectly suited to both high-speed spinning and precise positioning with an optical encoder.

Seven manufacturing facilities provide the JOUAN Group with its manufacturing self-efficiency. A general plant located in Château Gontier, France, produces sheet metal and electronic boards, and assembles centrifuges, incubators, and laminar air flow cabinets.

 

Sheet Metal Automated Punch Press

A second general plant in Winchester, USA, produces sheet metal and assembles centrifuges, incubators, and laminar air flow cabinets. JOUAN also maintains five plants for more specialized manufacturing, of which the one in Pau, France where are assembled the robotics products. A plant in Saint-Nazaire, France, is responsible for machining, ; in Milan, Italy – centrifuge motors, in Mukarov, Czech Republic – freezers, and in Allerød, Denmark – freeze dryers and baths.
