Varitron Technologies, a leader in electronic products assembly, is proud to announce the promotions of Jean-François Simoneau to the position Vice-President, Human Capital, and of Francis Mercier to Vice-President, Operations.

A member of the Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines agréés (order of certified human resources advisors) and the holder of a bachelor’s degree in human resources, Mr. Simoneau is a manager focused on continuous improvement and operational excellence in both corporate and operational roles, in Canada and in the United States. Management of internal communications has now been added to his human resources responsibilities.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Université de Sherbrooke and is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (Québec order of engineers). As a partner in the start-up of two companies and as someone involved in managing growth, he has developed great expertise in product development (mechanical, electronic and software), value-added management and production (lean management and lean manufacturing), industrial transfers, and product lifecycle management.
