Autoclave Engineers Division
Autoclave Engineers was founded by Fred Gashe in 1935 to fill a gap in the world of high pressure and high temperature technology. Autoclave has created and produced many novel pressure vessel designs as well as made significant break through's in high pressure technology such as the MagneDrive® magnetically coupled agitator. We have made these developments through commitments to constant innovation and hiring the best technical personnel available. This commitment is supported and encouraged by our parent company Snap-tite, Inc.
