Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi

Originally from the south-east of Tunisia, in Gabès, Mohamed Ayachi AJROUDI grew up in a family of officers of the French army, who became Tunisian army when the country gained independence in 1956. After the death of his father , occurring at the beginning of his adolescence, his uncle and his mother encourage him to go to continue his studies in France. And this is how young Mohamed left his native Tunisia to settle in the north of France, in Lille, where he joined in 1967 the National School of the Merchant Marine of Saint-Malo. “ I was orphan, no suitcase to pack. I left taking my mother’s scarf, it was my insurance, its smell.”he will say concerning this departure which sounds like a change of life. For five years, he traveled the seas and oceans before leaving the Navy in the early 1970s after obtaining the rank of Lieutenant. He then joined the Lille School of Engineers – which we now call POLYTECH – to come out graduated in 1977.

Despite the brilliant results, none of the companies likely to hire after school offer him anything. In France in the 1970s, it is not necessarily easy to be called Mohamed Ayachi AJROUDI . However, by dint of perseverance, he eventually joined in 1978 the company ISEE OFFSHORE established in Pas-de-Calais. The Franco-Tunisian entrepreneur bought the company three years later, after creating his own engineering company, where he developed fasteners for barges and jakets on pipelines. It is rapidly expanding its field of activity to the Gulf countries and in particular to Saudi Arabia. It was at this time that he developed an underground irrigation system, dubbed the PORTUBE II, used to stop the advancement of the desert. It has been successfully tested in the government of Gabes, in Saudi Arabia and even in Paris. For this, he will be awarded the medal of merit of the cities of Mecca and Jeddah. To find out more about his various inventions and creations internationally, we invite you here .
