Speaker Biography:

Philippe Couture began his career in the plastics industry in 1992, working in his father’s company, which used the IBM process, in Quebec, Canada. He joined the company full-time in 1999 after completing his studies in administration. Unfortunately, the factory was forced to close in 2014.

Philippe then transitioned into the CNC field, working as a machinist, programmer, and eventually a CNC expert for a heavy material handling equipment manufacturer, where he spent seven years.

In 2021, he decided to start his own company, Optimisation Philippe Couture Inc., specializing as an IBM consultant. Since then, he has been traveling the world, providing support and training to molders, either directly or on behalf of mold and machine manufacturers.
