The willingness to make sacrifices and work harder in the name of mutual benefit is one of the things our clients appreciate, and that they say sets us apart. The fact that Usinatech still works closely with it's first client over a quarter of a century later, is a sign that our teamwork works for everyone, for the long run.
We're one of the most experienced companies at making gears and transmission components for gas electric hybrid vehicles. As a key player on GM's EV1 project we gained first-hand experience in the challenges involved in electric/gas hybrid engineering. Today we're working with Hydro Quebec's TM4 electric car project and with the Universite de Sherbrooke on ongoing R &D in electric transportation. We also design 100% recycled and reusable packaging for many of our clients.
Our metallurgical expertise is recognized the world over. Our ability to control and maintain the characteristics and consistency of specialized alloys; our ability to work with the most exacting heat induction requirements; our ongoing commitment to metallurgy R & D with world-class universities.

With plants strategically located near the Canada-US and Mexico-US borders, Usinatech offers quality, high volume parts manufacturing to any North American Tier One manufacturer or OEM. Coupled with our JIT logistics and supply chain experience, this saves our customers time and money.
Being passionate about the things we do is a big part of our French Canadian heritage. That's one of the reasons why when someone tells us, it can't be done, we make sure that we do everything possible to get it done. We're just as passionate about making promises stick, so we won't make any promises we can't keep.
Whether you need to know where your order is in the supply chain, or how long it will take to change the specs, or why we suggest doing it this way instead of that way. Our people are ready to give you the answers. Precisely. Leave a note with your contact information and we'll get back to you promptly.
In spite of their diversities, our automotive and personal motorized sports vehicle clients all know us for the quality of drive shafts, gears and transmission components made to the highest OEM standards. Since the beginning this speciality has been the heart and soul of our growth, and a core business driver.
Highly specialized, ergonomically optimized, production throughput maximized are some of the phrases that can be applied to many of the work cells set up throughout Usinatech's plants in Canada and Mexico. Many of them are interconnected with other similar cells which are also part of the same system, and some contain as many as 3 or 4 custom built machines. Complex assemblies that flow like clock-work? Precisely.
