Alfred W. French Sr. founded French in 1900 to produce state-of-the-art equipment for the extraction of linseed oil from flax. Mr. French soon adapted his equipment to other oilseeds as well. Today, French stands as a leading supplier and innovator of oil extraction machines and mechanical oilseed screw presses (also known as expeller presses).
French has provided thousands of roller mill and mechanical screw presses around the world, processing all major oilseeds with customers in more than 80 countries. French screw presses, sometimes referred to as oil expeller press machines, are well known throughout the oilseed industry for their rugged construction and outstanding durability. We pride ourselves in partnering with customers to design and supply oil extraction machines and preparation equipment that best meet their needs.
Supplying new oilseed equipment is only part of French’s commitment to the oilseed industry. Aftermarket Sales offers an extensive line of high-quality replacement parts for French equipment, including screw presses and many items for French oil extraction machines. French also offers rebuilding services for used French oilseed preparation equipment and screw presses.
