History

In 1949, Intralox founder J. M. Lapeyre[4][5] invented an automatic shrimp-peeling machine [6][7] that changed the industry. He patented his shrimp peeler and 190 other inventions during his lifetime. He also founded multiple companies under parent company, Laitram, LLC, including Laitram Machinery, Intralox, Lapeyre Stair, and Laitram Machine Shop — all based on his inventions.[8]
