Overseas production has its place, and is suitable for many applications. Domestic production is best if your parts fall into some of the following categories:

1. Low to medium volume
2. You want to work with someone who can help you develop your parts
3. Lead times are short
4. Your parts are large relative to their cost. In this case shipping cost will be an issue.
5. You have "just in time" or a "lean" production process where you do not want to bring in a container load, but want smaller weekly deliveries.

We use Solid Works and AutoCAD for part development, TruTops to program our punch and bending machines, and BYSOFT to program the laser machine.

There is no absolute answer to this question. The process of choice depends of various issues including:

• Thickness
• Type of material
• How hole intensive is the part? Hole intensive parts are often more cost effective in punching machines.
• Shape of the outside contour of the part
• Finishing requirements
• Volume

We do not paint in-house, but rather shop out those services to local companies who specialize in painting. Painters must consider many issues such as part cleaning, paint adhesion, hardness, gloss level, powder vs. liquid applications, and environmental laws. We work with various paint shops in the Toronto area since most specialize in certain applications.

Yes. We have a 26' box truck for local deliveries. Having our own truck allows us to give better customer service. If a customer is not local to us, we use a local courier service, or a transport company.

Our Bystronic fibre laser can cut brass, copper, steel and stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized. We use our Trumph punch for pre-painted steel applications.

Pre-painted steel is a sheet of steel which has been painted at a steel mill. We have been able to use pre-painted steel for some of our customers’ applications, saving them money. A part must have particular features to utilize this material.
