Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurent Dubourg is a founder-CEO and materials engineering specialist with 14+ years turning advanced welding research into commercial solutions, most notably democratizing Friction Stir Welding (FSW) through Stirweld since 2017. He combines deep R&D experience from NRC Canada and industry roles in laser cladding and additive manufacturing with hands-on productization that lets manufacturers add FSW capability to standard CNC machines. His background spans PhD-level metallurgy and applied engineering, plus roles in business development that bridge laboratory innovation and industrial adoption across aerospace, automotive and rail. Laurent is pragmatic about performance and cost-efficiency, helping clients redesign parts and solve complex aluminium assembly challenges. Based in Greater Rennes, he now leads Stirweld’s international rollout (including a GmbH) while remaining accessible for technical collaboration and problem-solving. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating specialist welding science into practical tooling and processes that lower the barrier for broad industrial use.
