Welcome Kasun
- our new field service & process engineer
We’re excited to welcome Kasun Priyashantha to the CORE-emt team. With a solid background in SMT production, process development and technical troubleshooting, Kasun steps into his new role as Field Service & Process Engineer ready to support our customers across the Nordic and Baltic region.
From the SMT floor to the field – Kasun brings solid experience
Kasun joins CORE-emt service team with a strong track record in both SMT production and technical service.
At GPV Lanka, he worked as a Process Development Engineer and SMT / THT Maintenance Engineer, where he played a key role in keeping machines running smoothly, fine-tuning production processes and driving up product quality.
His focus on lean thinking and cost-saving measures led to real improvements in efficiency - benefits that OEMs and EMS providers know make a big difference on the bottom line.
He’s also worked beyond the SMT world. At Sabaragamuwa University, Kasun handled IT systems and network infrastructure, sharpening his technical troubleshooting skills.
Later, at NMI Infra, he took on responsibility for maintaining telecom towers and infrastructure - broadening his understanding of complex systems and field operations.

A genuine passion for SMT and process optimization
What drives Kasun is more than just technical know-how - it’s his genuine enthusiasm for improving how things work. Throughout his career, he’s been hands-on with SMT and THT machinery, always looking for smarter ways to boost efficiency, reduce costs and improve quality.
He’s played a key role in process development, digitalization and LEAN manufacturing, often working side-by-side with engineering teams to implement real-world solutions.
Whether it’s fine-tuning production lines or troubleshooting technical issues, Kasun thrives when he can roll up his sleeves and make a measurable impact - something EMS and OEM companies will definitely appreciate.

Ready to collaborate, learn & deliver
Kasun is excited to step into CORE-emt’s fast-paced, customer-focused environment - where technical challenges meet teamwork. He’s looking forward to applying his skills in a setting that values clear communication, hands-on support, and close collaboration with customers.
With a sharp eye for detail and a proactive mindset, he’s ready to dig into system troubleshooting, understand customer needs on-site, and offer tailored solutions that fit real-world production demands. Kasun is also a big believer in continuous learning - both from his colleagues and from the challenges each day brings.
And when he’s not optimizing processes or solving tricky machine issues, you’ll probably find him listening to a good playlist or enjoying a bit of gaming.
Join us in extending a warm welcome to Kasun Priyashantha as he embarks on this exciting journey with CORE-emt, bringing innovative spirit and technical mastery to every project he touches.
