PEOPLE STORIES
-
After completing my apprenticeship year in a Bachelor's degree in Mechanics and Industrial Design, I joined the design office at Knauf Industries. I work on the development of EPS and EPP products for various markets. Thanks to the department's tools, I was able to train in the use of 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and realistic rendering software. This allowed me to acquire new skills relevant to my role. I appreciate being able to express myself and receive support from my colleagues. The positive atmosphere in the department has been a great help to me.

I joined Knauf Industries in November 1988 (which was then called Dupuis Kétin) as a maintenance technician in the electrical department. Knauf gave me the opportunity to progress through roles such as adjuster and team leader, and since 2001, I have been in charge of the Press workshop. What I enjoy most about this job is the development and optimization of new tools, as well as continuous improvement. I also dedicate time to training various technicians and team leaders, focusing on the processes of EPS and EPP machines, because the future depends on the transmission of know-how.

I have been an Account Manager for the Automotive Market, also known as 'Key Account Manager,' since 2018. I appreciate the diversity of my role, which ranges from basic customer contact to creating commercial offers, developing strategies for my scope, and participating in meetings with the teams at the factory. I have a wide range of responsibilities! Giving our best while being considerate of others sums up the values of Knauf Industries for me. Working together, bringing teams together to find solutions that improve our profitability, is also a key example of this.
