Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilize advanced milling and turning equipment to produce complex metal components with tight tolerances. Capabilities include horizontal milling, surface grinding, and universal machining for steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. This service supports industries requiring high-precision parts for defense, rail, and specialty automotive applications.
Robotic Welding
We offer robotic GMAW welding alongside manual techniques like TIG and MIG for structural steel and aluminum. Qualified welders adhere to American Welding Society codes, ensuring durability in thin sheet metal and tubing. This service meets demands for consistent, high-quality welds in large-scale production runs.
Plasma Cutting
Two high-definition CNC plasma cutters handle steel up to 3/4", aluminum to 1/2", and stainless steel to 1/2" with 4'x8' and 5'x10' capacities. For oversized materials, we coordinate laser or waterjet cutting through trusted partners, ensuring precision profiles for custom fabrication projects.
Prototyping
Our prototyping service delivers quick turnaround for custom metal parts using CNC machining, forming, and assembly expertise. This allows clients to test designs before full-scale production, particularly benefiting sectors like defense and specialty automotive where precision is critical.
Controlled Goods Handling
As a Controlled Goods Registered facility, we meet strict Canadian government requirements for handling defense-related materials. This certification enables us to support defense sector contracts, including the Light Armoured Vehicle III Upgrade Project, with secure and compliant manufacturing processes.
