Gérard Oury

Gérard Oury has been active in the industrial world for over thirty years. He has spent the last twenty-five years of his professional life as a consultant and sales manager with CETIM (Centre Technique des Industries Mécaniques), the largest R&D center for industry in France. In France and Europe, he met executive managers from just about every sector of the manufacturing industry. The activities addressed were essentially focused on supply chain optimization, mechanical manufacturing, design and re-design, but also validation testing and technical feasibility studies. The projects initiated were mostly strategic. He has been responsible for a variety of accounts and markets, including aerospace (airplanes, helicopters, launchers, equipment manufacturers), transport (automotive, rail) and luxury goods (watchmaking and perfumery). He has been involved in helping companies move from mass production to small and medium production runs, with a focus on “made-to-measure” solutions. Today, he supports major industrial companies in their search for sources of technical and commercial diversification.
