Lebaudy Frères

Lebaudy Frères was a French sugar producer based in Moisson, France.

In addition to sugar, they also made a series of semi-rigid airships in the early years of the twentieth century, some of which saw service with several European armies.

Their semi-rigid airships were considered useful for military purposes and several were ordered by the French War Ministry.
