Codaitec

What Codaitec does

Codaitec, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Courtry (Seine-et-Marne, France), designs, assembles, tests, installs, and commissions customized centralized and automatic lubrication systems for industrial machinery. Its product portfolio spans six lubrication architectures (Progressive, Volumetric PDI, Oil Injection, Resistive SLR, Single-Point, and the LHL cartridge system) plus a full component catalog of pumps, dosers, controllers, fittings, lubricants, and the proprietary QUERVEL mechanical grease lubricators acquired in 2023. The company acts both as a systems integrator (combining GRACO, LUBE, Trico, and Pulsarlube components) and as a niche manufacturer of specialty mechanical lubricators serving petrochemical, automotive, steel, and rubber/plastics applications. The offering is rounded out by technical services including on-site installation, after-sales support, maintenance, and equipment evolution.

Codaitec serves three primary customer segments on a horizontal basis: machine manufacturers integrating lubrication into OEM equipment, industrial users retrofitting and operating heavy machinery, and system integrators embedding lubrication into broader industrial installations. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (custom systems and components) and professional services (installation, commissioning, maintenance, and renovation). Distribution is direct in France via a national field sales and technical-support network spanning Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, supplemented internationally through the LION GROUP's European partners (LIONOIL in Belgium, TTV in Germany, ADAMS Lubrication in the UK). Pricing is project-based with custom quotes; no public pricing is disclosed. The firm achieved ISO 9001 certification in 2025 and employs 11-50 people.

Ownership is wholly private within the family-owned LION GROUP, led by the Van Leeuw family (roots to 1924 in Antwerp, Belgium); Codaitec is the French subsidiary and operates without any recorded venture, private equity, or public-market capital. Recent strategic activity has centered on the QUERVEL-RAUZY acquisition, production consolidation at Courtry, ISO certification, and the launch of an online configurator for centralized lubrication systems.

Core offering

Codaitec designs, installs, and maintains centralized and automatic lubrication systems for industrial equipment, covering six system families (Progressive, Volumetric PDI, Oil Injection, Resistive SLR, Single-Point, and LHL cartridge) together with the full range of components — pumps, controllers, dosers, fittings, QUERVEL mechanical lubricators, lubricants, and accessories. The company delivers turnkey solutions from technical study and custom engineering through on-site installation, commissioning, and after-sales technical service across France.

Product overview

Codaitec offers a comprehensive portfolio of centralized and automatic lubrication systems under an 'Intelligent Lubrication' approach. The product range includes six distinct lubrication system types (Progressive, Volumetric PDI, Oil Injection, Resistive SLR, Single-Point, and LHL), complemented by a full spectrum of components including GRACO pumps (Fire-Ball, Dyna-Star, LD, AMO III), controllers (GRACO GLC series, CODAITEC control units), volumetric and progressive dosers (PDI MO2/MO2C, GRAISSE FLUIDE, MSP, CSP), mechanical lubricators (QUERVEL brand, acquired in 2023), lubricants (LHL-X100, FS2 greases), and accessories. The systems serve diverse industrial applications including chains/conveyors, machine tools, food/agriculture, presses, compressors, and oil analysis. Codaitec operates as part of the European LION GROUP alongside LIONOIL (Belgium), TTV (Germany), and ADAMS Lubrication (UK), and represents major brands including GRACO, LUBE, Trico, and Pulsarlube.
