A word from Hubert Cloix, founder of the company:
“The launch of the Hubert Cloix company is a very beautiful story.
If its creation is due to a combination of circumstances, its development is all the more impressive.
The war was raging as I finished my studies at HEC Paris. After returning to work for some time with my father, I took over the management of the Rousset company, but in parallel and above all, that of Autofrigor, a French company manufacturing and installing refrigeration equipment, which was bankrupt at the time.
I accept this new challenge and turn the company around, increasing the sale of machines from 12 per year to over 122.
I left this company on a very positive balance, five years after my arrival and decided to create my own structure, always in the same field.
In 1973, Hubert Cloix was born. I find a room of 200 square meters in Saint Maur des Fossés, avenue de Plaisance. This room will quickly become too small, and the company will then move to the premises it occupied until 2022.
Over time, we have grown and diversified our business. In addition to ice cream machines, we have started to market pasteurizers for custard, caviar, or eggs, or pastocookers.
If we initially used subcontractors for stainless steel sheet metal, we then integrated everything into our own process.
Every year, we want to stay ahead of all possible progress and file patents with the INPI to protect our inventions. Unfortunately, not everything is patentable, and some of our competitors will copy what we thought.
In 1992, I retired and entrusted the management of the Hubert Cloix company to my son, Jean-Loup Cloix. Under his leadership, the company is moving in the right direction: increasing the capacity of the machines, integrating automatic control panels and installing new machines.
June 18, 2012 marks a new milestone for the company. My grandson, Maximilien Cloix, son of Jean-Loup, joined the company and began to train. He learns the whole process of manufacturing the machines, as well as the first demonstrations to customers.
On January 1, 2019, Jean-Loup handed over his position as CEO to Maximilien, now at the head of the Hubert Cloix company.
