LES INDUSTRIES SODEVAMERICA INC.

What LES INDUSTRIES SODEVAMERICA INC. does

SodevAmerica (Les Industries Sodevamerica Inc.) is a Quebec-based, privately-held industrial equipment manufacturer that designs and produces ultrasonic cutting systems for food processors. The company is the North American subsidiary of France-headquartered Sodeva Group (parent SODEVA TDS, registered in Chambéry with stated capital of €360,000) and operates from a single facility in Saint-Hubert, QC, supported by a US toll-free sales line.

Its product portfolio spans three machine families — COMPACT (manual and in-line slicers C-MN 1000 RC, C-IL 1000 C, C-CS 2000 RC for entry-level applications), MASTER (M-IL 4000 C with 4 blades and M-2C 3000 C with 3 blades, rated up to 25,000–50,000 portions/hour) and VISION (V-3D 1000 C with 3D-vision or X-Ray fixed-weight cutting) — together with proprietary replacement consumables: titanium sonotrodes in corner, parallel, exponential and patented micro-teeth geometries, plus ultrasonic generators, transducers and boosters. The firm uniquely manufactures all core ultrasonic components in-house using Langevin triplet quartz-steel technology at 20 kHz and 35 kHz frequencies, with cutting amplitudes up to 90 micrometers and per-blade power up to 3 kW. It holds multiple patents covering micro-teeth blades for meat, 3D-vision fixed-weight cutting, X-Ray fixed-weight technology, tool-free shape changing, and continuous cutting with automatic weight regulation.

The business operates on a direct enterprise field-sales model selling capital equipment at undisclosed quote-based pricing, complemented by recurring consumables (blades, generators, boosters compatible with all generator brands) and technical-support services. The customer base is dominated by large industrial food processors — notably Lactalis, Saputo, Frito-Lay/PepsiCo, St Albert, Agrilait, Habco, Yancey's Fancy and Entremont — with additional logos in confectionery, meat/deli, cosmetics (Christian Dior, Guerlain), luxury watchmaking (Rolex), pharmaceuticals (Novartis, Pfizer), nuclear (CEA) and electronics (Heraeus). The company cites over 25 years of ultrasonic cutting experience, a leadership position in Europe, and an active expansion in North America supported by a trilingual website, YouTube demonstrations, trade-show participation, and a dedicated recruitment page.

Core offering

Les Industries SodevAmerica Inc. (SodevAmerica) designs and manufactures ultrasonic food slicing systems and components for industrial food processors. The company produces complete ultrasonic cutting lines across three series (COMPACT, MASTER, VISION) along with proprietary ultrasonic generators, titanium blades, transducers, and boosters, and integrates 3D-vision and X-Ray based fixed-weight portioning technology. It also sells replacement blades and provides technical support to food manufacturing customers.

Product overview

LES INDUSTRIES SODEVAMERICA INC. offers a comprehensive portfolio of ultrasonic cutting systems for the food processing industry. The product line spans three main machine series: COMPACT (manual and in-line slicers like C-MN 1000 RC, C-IL 1000 C, C-CS 2000 RC) for entry-level needs; MASTER (high-volume industrial slicers including M-IL 4000 C with 4 blades and M-2C 3000 C with 3 blades) capable of 25,000-50,000 portions per hour; and VISION (fixed weight slicers like V-3D 1000 C) incorporating 3D-Vision or X-Ray technology for precision portioning. Core components include proprietary ultrasonic generators, titanium blades in various shapes (corner, parallel edges, exponential, micro-teeth), and transducers/boosters. Key technology differentiators include 3D-Vision fixed weight systems that calculate volume to the gram for accurate portioning, patented micro-teeth blades for meat cutting, and the ability to cut all food types including cheese, pastry, confectionery, meat, deli, and frozen products.
