People & Processes
60+ years of combined experience behind every part you order.
Between the four founders we bring more than 60 years in manufacturing, engineering and software. We started young, as engineers, a millwright and a software engineer, and we could have taken those skills anywhere. We stayed in manufacturing because precision matters, and because making things in Canada matters.
You deal with us directly. Every person below has a button to call or email them, and when you call, a real person picks up.

How we work
Every job follows the same three steps, with quality checks and information in ManuConnect the whole way through.
Organize & Visualize
Upload your complex assemblies and loose piece parts. Our engineers review each one for manufacturability before anything is made.
In ManuConnectManuConnect automatically organizes everything by its procurement requirements into an easy-to-understand visual map of your procurement workflow. Request a quote instantly, based on live shop capacity and capabilities.
Order & Track
Provide feedback, adjust your RFQs, then submit your order. We manufacture with quality checkpoints along the way.
In ManuConnectLive orders update every time they complete an operation, so you can see them pass every quality checkpoint and arrive on time.
Receive & Scale
Build and optimize your specific manufacturing requirements directly, and keep optimizing as your product lifecycles evolve.
In ManuConnectAccess the information for any part, on any current or past order, in one place. Organize your products and projects around their routine procurement requirements, set by how your systems work, and let ManuConnect automate the rest.
