What Dagard does

Dagard is a French industrial manufacturer founded in 1951, headquartered in Boussac (Creuse), and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purever Industries since April 2018. The company designs, manufactures, and installs turnkey controlled-environment solutions — cleanrooms, classified laboratories (BSL1–BSL4), cold rooms, isothermal enclosures, fire protection systems (Dagfeu), and specialized UV-C decontamination equipment (Sas'Labs, UMD'Labs) — built around proprietary sandwich panel technology with PIR (polyisocyanurate) and rock wool cores, supported by a complete range of industrial doors (isothermal, pivoting, sliding, traffic, service, industrial, fire-rated). It serves six primary verticals: pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, classified laboratories, healthcare and hospitals, smart industries, food and beverage, and hospitality (CHR), with named enterprise customers including LFB (plasma-derived medicine plant at Arras, 25,450 m² of cleanroom panels and 335 doors), Sabena Technics (aircraft paint spray booths), Kan Thar Yar Hospital, Copralim, IDNAFOOD, and Jean-Charles Rochoux.

Dagard runs an enterprise B2B project-based model with custom quoting per specification; revenue streams are split across hardware sales (cleanroom envelopes, cold rooms, doors, panels), turnkey project installation (engineering studies, supervision, on-site installation with validation), and after-sales services through Dagard Services. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Annual operational scale is approximately 1 million m² of sandwich panels and more than 15,000 industrial doors, supported by 371 employees, four French sites (Boussac HQ and production, Lavault Sainte-Anne door plant, Saint-Médard-d'Eyrans regional entity, Les Ulis showroom), a US subsidiary in Canton, Georgia, and a geographic reach cited at over 80 countries. Channels include a multi-language website (FR/EN/ES/DE/US), industry trade shows (CFIA, ContaminExpo, Chillventa, Sirha, Maghreb Pharma, ISPE), and a technical blog with case studies.

Certifications include FM Approved for the Dagfeu fire-rated range (March 2026), CSTB technical approval, CE marking, and GDPR data handling compliance. Recent product launches include UMD'Labs cart decontamination unit (March 2021, co-developed with Lab'Science), the NEOCLIP service door (May 2023), and the FM Approved Dagfeu line (March 2026). The company is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026, and no revenue, funding events, or public-equity listings are disclosed in the available data.
