Historical reference for industrial storage

A long-standing player in industrial storage production, CDE was founded in 1966 by Georges Legros. Became Chaudronnerie De l’Est in 1971, the company has gradually evolved by increasing its production capacity and modernizing its production lines, to take the place of the leading French manufacturer of cylindrical tanks . Over the years, CDE has strengthened its experience and expertise, obtaining certifications proving the quality of its products, of its manufacturing processes, but also and above all of its relationships with its customers.
