STIRLING , ONTARIO · SINCE 2015
Automation,
machining,
and fabrication.
Under one roof.
We design, build, and service custom industrial systems for manufacturers across Ontario. Vision-guided robotics, precision machining, and custom fabrication, delivered as a single, turnkey solution by the team that engineered it.
One shop, however your project shows up
Hire us for one. Hire us for all three.
Some projects need a full automated production line. Some need a single machined component. Some need a service tech on a plane to fix something tomorrow. We're set up for any combination — one discipline, two, or all three — because the same team builds each, in the same shop, to the same standard. Tighter tolerances, faster builds, fewer handoffs, one point of accountability.

CASE IN POINT
A manufacturer's 40-year supplier walked away from a complex part their line couldn't run without — and their backup suppliers wouldn't even quote it. We took the order. Six months of custom process development later — CNC machining, custom processing, and a vision-inspection system designed specifically for the part — the first production run came in at a 1% defect rate. Today it's zero.
What we do
Three services. Independent or integrated
Most customers hire us for one or two. Some hire us for the full turnkey build. Either way, you're working with the same team, in the same shop, on the same standard.

Our Specialty
Vision-guided robotics, done better.
Vision-guided robotics is where 30 years of automation experience compounds. Robots that know where to grab the part, where the seal goes, when to assemble, when to reject. We've built cells that pick automotive clips off conveyors, place foam seals onto stud clips, run robotic assembly lines, and bag finished parts at line speed. From standalone cells to modified standard solutions like RoboSeal-VG, vision-guided is the building block we're best known for.
Industries we serve
Built for manufacturers who don't settle.
We work with manufacturers who care about how well the machine runs in year five, not just what it costs in year one.
