In 2000, an LSU engineering professor named Kevin Kelly got an idea to build compact, efficient heat exchangers that would help engines perform better. Today, Mezzo is one of the leading companies in the country in the area of micro tube heat exchanger technology, and the company s products are used in dozens of applications and across industries from aerospace to oil and gas to, believe it or not, high performance auto racing. It s not the kind of technology you think of when you think of Louisiana, which is what makes the story of Mezzo such a great one. On this edition of Out to Lunch Mezzo co founder and company President Kevin Kelly tells host Stephanie Riegel about the growth of Mezzo and the market for its products. Mezzo got its start in the Bon Carre business incubator more than a decade ago. Another impressive Baton Rouge tech company that also started out in an incubator the LSU business and technology center is CAP Technologies. The company is providing an invaluable service to big industry and to the environment it has created an environmentally friendly way of cleaning and coating metals, using electricity and benign electrolytes instead of harsh acids. CAP Technologies founder and President Eddie Daigle charts the rise of his company from its fascinating genesis during the 6 years he spent working with Russian scientists in what was then the Soviet Union. As surprising as it might be that Baton Rouge is the home of world leaders in engine and metal performance, you may be equally surprised to discover that we re also innovators in human performance, thanks to Adrian Cornish, Nathan Roy, and their startup company Apex Resistance and Conditioning. Apex co founder Nathan tells Stephanie about the company s revolutionary wearable gym a workout suit that uses the same kind of all over resistance you encounter in water, on dry land to increase effectiveness of a workout by up to 100 for some muscle groups. And that s not just a wild claim, that s the result of year s study by the LSU Kineseology department. Photos on this page taken at Mansur s on the Boulevard by Katie Barnett.
