Yann :

Pre-sales project manager, joined CRENO in August 2017

Why did you choose CRENO?

Having previously worked in mechanical engineering and machining, I knew the reputation of excellence of CRENO machine tools. Its largely international orientation also weighed in my choice, as did, I must admit, the environment of the mountains and Lake Annecy…

What does your job involve ?

I provide technical support to clients at the preliminary project stage and I prepare commercial offers. I am also in charge of the innovation of the acoustic drilling process, with the piloting of qualification and improvement tests, which allows me to be in contact with major aeronautical companies such as Airbus or UTC.

What is the CRENO spirit for you ?

CRENO is an amazing company. Where you can, before going to work, climb a mountain and eat an omelette at the refuge or go on a ski tour… There is an excellent team spirit with regular activities between colleagues such as the Thursday lunch. This makes it very easy for newcomers to integrate!

Julien :

European Sales Engineer, arrived at CRENO in May 2018

Why did you choose CRENO?

What pushed me to say yes to CRENO was the opportunity to market high value-added machining solutions in a sector of activity as exciting as aeronautics and space, and moreover, on an international scale.

What does your job involve?

My mission consists mainly in detecting new projects with European aeronautics players who have machining needs. To do this, I work closely with the technical teams (design office, pre-project unit, R&D) as well as with the customers. I also provide customer support in terms of after-sales service and technical interventions and I answer all types of questions… It’s a very varied and rewarding job, both professionally and personally.

What is the CRENO spirit for you?

Three words come quickly to mind: dynamism, passion and team spirit.
