To cope with the heightened demand for solutions to difficult analytical applications within the petroleum related sector, AD Systems decided to strengthen its development team. Over the past 14 months, AD Systems has recruited five technicians and engineers: François Leblanc as software development engineer, Jean Christien as mechatronics engineer, Hervé Cléris as product engineer in charge of defining new products, Florentin Lecornu as CAD technician specialised in designing new products and Brice Bouchard as CAD technician dedicated to product industrialisation. With this significant expansion, AD Systems will soon be able to bring to market additional innovative instruments suited to the needs of petroleum laboratories.
