Jean-Camille Uring has just been elected Chairman of the SymopSyndicat des entreprises de technologies de production, which represents 240 companies with 16,000 employees and sales of 2 billion euros. He succeeds Alain Huet, President since 2007, who had previously worked to ensure that measurement was given full consideration within the Syndicat. Measurement is one of Symop's 13 working groups, and brings together some 50 companies in the mechanical measurement sector (notably measurement and dimensional control).
Jean-Camille Uring was elected for a two-year term (in accordance with the union's bylaws). A graduate of the Ecole Centrale de Paris, he is currently Deputy Managing Director of Fives Cinetic and a member of the Executive Committee of the Fives Group, which designs and builds process equipment, production lines and turnkey plants for major industrial players in the aluminum, steel, automotive and logistics, cement, energy and sugar sectors.
His current position is due to a steady progression within the Fives Group, where he began his career as an engineer at Heurtey-Métallurgie (now Fives Stein). In 1984, he took over the management of Fives Celes, another Group subsidiary specializing in induction heating and industrial cooling technologies. In 1998, he joined Fives Cinetic, where he was in charge of developing the automated production systems business (machining, assembly, automation, handling).
Jean-Camille Uring will continue his predecessor's efforts to bring together production technology companies, so that he can act more effectively and collectively. This is an essential objective for the mission he has set himself: to raise awareness among political and economic players of the strategic importance of modernizing and optimizing the production tool in the competitiveness of companies, and therefore of French industry.
