Founded in 1833, Tournaire came into being along with the first perfume flower distilleries in Grasse. Originally a coppersmith, manufacturer of stills and cans for flower oils in copper, Tournaire continually acquired new expertise to meet the specific needs of the developing perfume industry.

Today Tournaire’s acknowledged expertise in leading-edge techniques (extraction, subcritical distillation, filtration, etc.) and high-quality technical packaging is available to industry throughout the world. With the fullest range of aluminum and co-extruded plastic packaging in the market, Tournaire covers fields as varied as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, the food processing industry and specialty chemicals, with the highest levels of quality, service and safety.

From its beginnings until today, Tournaire has undergone several major transformations to enable it to remain fully responsive to client expectation and the needs of ever more numerous specialized markets: while Tournaire began life as a craft industry, mechanization as from 1950 boosted it to new levels of productivity and quality: then the phase of industrialization – from 1960 onwards – took over before giving way to automation in 1980. In 2011 the Tournaire Group moved into the era of robotization with a first line equipped with three robots.
