Alumni Profile
Laurent Teyssie, Industrial Development Manager, Intertechnique (Zodiac Aerospace)
“I conducted my final year MSc Dissertation project at the University of Salford on the use of industrial robots for electrical engine design for a company called Leroy Somer, part of the Emerson Group. Afterwards I was appointed by them as an Industrial Engineer to manage a project in TPM/ Lean Manufacturing for increasing the productivity using real-time process control. After this experience I was appointed by Intertechnique as an Industrial Manager and am currently responsible for the industrial development of equipment from the design phase to the production phase.”
