What Sterigene does

STERIGENE S.a.s. is a French private company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Franconville (Val d'Oise), operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SYNEXIN Group alongside sister entities STAURATEC and DUTREVE. The company specializes in clean and sterile process engineering, distributing and integrating process equipment — sterilizers, pure fluid production systems, cGMP washers, aseptic filling and Blow-Fill-Seal lines, freeze dryers, and visual inspection systems — sourced from international OEM partners including Brevetti Angela, DARA Pharmaceutical, Stilmas, Optrel/Stevanato, and AM Instruments. STERIGENE also develops and manufactures its own patented CleanView manual visual inspection tables (CVHI model) in France, designed for compliance with Japanese, European, US, and Chinese pharmacopeias, and distributes a proprietary CleanView consumables range.

The company generates revenue through four streams: one-time equipment sales (capital purchases), one-time cleanroom consumables and small equipment sales (including via the sterigene-store.com e-commerce platform), recurring technical services (maintenance, spare parts, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, revamping, and DSVA disinfection services), and recurring training and audit services (QUALIOPI-certified). It serves pharmaceutical manufacturers as the primary vertical, with secondary focus on biotechnology, cosmetics, medical devices, agri-food/chemical, microelectronics, and aeronautics & space customers requiring controlled-environment infrastructure. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales across four French sites (Franconville, Brignais, Illkirch Graffenstaden, Saint-Ouen-L'Aumône), a worldwide export team covering 50+ countries, and event-driven demand generation through approximately 15 industry events per year (A3P congresses, CONTAMINEXPO, AFSTAL). STERIGENE holds ISO 9001:2015 (since 1994), QUALIOPI training certification (since 2020), and EcoVadis Bronze Medal (2026), with the business employing 90+ people and the wider SYNEXIN Group employing 120+ across the four sites.
