Our after-sales service technicians are not surprised to regularly see Laporte machines of over thirty years of age passing through their hands and still working. This exceptional lifespan is our added value and our trademark since 1927. Fully assembled by hand by our specialised technical team, each of our machines is voluntarily oversized and enjoys a corrosion resistant treatment. In addition, being constructed of more than 60 % aluminium alloy, our machines do no alter with time and have a moderate weight.

 

What better tests for our equipment than those imposed by nature to testify to the incredible reliability and robustness of our machines. The Olympic Games in Beijing 2008, where we were the official supplier, was the opportunity of a live spectacular test - after completely submerging floods for several days, the machines worked perfectly and immediately after the water subsidence! Incredible strength and design, extraordinary evidence.
