Industrial Manufacturing in Canada
Industrial manufacturing is the broad base beneath everything else, and in Canada it is shaped by the resource industries it serves. Mining, forestry, agriculture, and power generation are among the largest users of machinery in the country1, which is why so many Canadian shops are set up for durable equipment parts, jigs, fixtures, and the replacement components that keep a line running.
The work spans every common metal and plastic, from prototype through production, rewarding flexibility and reliability over specialization. Sourcing locally keeps machinery running with short lead times on custom and replacement parts.
