What Roxane does

Roxane is a French industrial automation company founded in 1992 that designs, manufactures, and services high-precision automated dosing systems for liquids, powders, and viscous materials. The company's core commercial focus is on manufacturers in the perfume, flavor, and cosmetics industries, with secondary penetration into the food/agri-food, paint/pigment, and chemical sectors. Its named enterprise customers include Chanel, P&G, Givaudan, Firmenich, Symrise, Ferrero, Mane, Robertet, Takasago, TechnicoFlor, Lucta, Chemarome, Scentium Flavors, Expressions Aromatiques, and Fontarome. The company is headquartered in Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, France, operates as a SAS with €4,286,507 of registered capital, and employs between 11 and 50 people.

The product platform is built around proprietary dosing technology, including the VDS-101 and VDS-201 distribution organ valves (with patented Inox PTFE construction), high-precision balances covering 0.01mg to 10g precision across load scales from 1.2kg to 1500kg, and a proprietary software ecosystem spanning Compo Manager, Superviseur Général, and Superviseur Robots. The equipment range extends from compact R&D units (Roxy 100-200) through modular production machines (Roxane K, A, C, D lines) up to large-scale robotic dosing systems (Roxane GT 32-60, GT 600, GT 1500), complemented by powder dosing modules and material handling peripherals such as storage magazines, conveyors, shuttles, vertical transfers, and filling machines. ATEX-certified variants of the equipment are available for deployment in explosive atmospheres.

Roxane's commercial model is direct enterprise sales of custom-configured industrial automation systems, with revenue generated from equipment sales plus a recurring annuity of software licenses, maintenance contracts, spare parts, and technical support services. The company serves customers across 5 continents and reinvests approximately 10% of revenue into R&D, supporting a technology-led positioning in a tightly specialized industrial niche.

Core offering

Roxane designs, manufactures, and integrates high-precision automated dosing systems, robotic handling equipment, and proprietary production management software for industrial manufacturers. Its product range spans laboratory-scale R&D machines (Roxy series), sampling and small-production machines (Roxane A, K), large-scale production lines (Roxane GT series), and supporting modules for storage, packaging, and material handling, primarily serving the perfume, flavor, cosmetic, agri-food, paint, and chemical industries.

Product overview

Roxane offers a modular industrial automation portfolio organized around three core pillars: high-precision dosing systems for liquids, powders, and viscous materials; robotic handling and packaging solutions; and proprietary software for production management. The dosing lineup spans machines for creation and R&D (Roxy 100-150, Roxy 200), sampling and small production (Roxane A, Roxane K 150, Roxane K Linéaire), through to full-scale production (Roxane C, Roxane D, Roxane GT 32-60, Roxane GT 600, Roxane GT 1500), all using the proprietary VDS-101 and VDS-201 distribution organ technology with high-precision balances. Powder dosing is handled by dedicated modules (Module poudre 1 kg, 6 kg, 60 kg) that integrate with the broader dosing machines or operate independently. The robotization ecosystem covers automated storage magazines (Magasin), filling/packaging machines (Remplisseuse), and material handling equipment (Convoyeur, Navette, Monte-charges & Passeurs verticaux). All machines are controlled by Roxane's own software suite: Compo Manager for workshop configuration and management, Superviseur Général for real-time monitoring, Superviseur Robots for robot control, and Superviseur Pesées Manuelles for manual weighing traceability. The software runs on a 100% Microsoft architecture and supports multiple languages.
