My name is Lény Thomas, I'm 29 years old, and I've been project manager at DEMGY FRASNE for two and a half years now. My role focuses on mold design and project management from A to Z. As project manager, I'm the customer's main contact right from the quotation phase, and I make sure that everything runs smoothly right through to delivery.
