We’d like to highlight the inspiring people who work at Bliss Ecospray on a daily basis. Here is a portrait of François-Xavier LELONG, Production & Industrialisation Manager.
I’ve been working at Bliss Ecospray for a year and a half. From my point of view, working in a young start-up enables me to progress more quickly. I was very interested in working for a start-up dedicated to innovation in the wine industry.
Being in charge of production and industrialisation at Bliss Ecospray involves choosing production materials and suppliers for the purchase of these products. One of the main challenges is to identify and adapt the products to the existing production tools and ensure that their performance is constantly improved. As far as the assembly of components is concerned, you need to be rigorous in setting up dedicated logistics, including goods stock management and team management.
What I particularly like about working for Bliss Ecospray is the autonomy I have in setting up processes and being able to develop them over time.
After finishing my schooling at a scientific high school, I joined a preparatory class in the Paris region (94) before joining an engineering school at Grenoble PHELMA for 3 years. I continued my studies in Finland during my Masters I and II specialising in materials, the environment and innovation.
My first professional experience took place over 2 years with a start-up in the north of France specialising in the automotive sector. After that, I joined the Bliss Ecospray team.
What I love about my job is how close I am to the product. The product is tangible and I help to develop it by reducing production costs and increasing its added value and technical performance – a real and exciting challenge!
I would say that Bliss Ecospray technology is revolutionary because it increases the performance of crop treatments. In other words, we reduce product losses, while maintaining the same treatment capacity as other sprayers. Tests show and prove that we are the best performer on the market.
My advice today for future generations wishing to enter the field of engineering would be to find a sector of activity that appeals to them and to make it an exciting job.
I’ve never doubted my career choice, and I’ve always done the job I dreamed of doing since I was at college. It’s been a gradual process, through my research, but also through my various work placements, experiences and school projects. The industrial world has always fascinated me.
