Usinatech's quality management system requirements for all areas of our business including:

TEAMWORK

Working well together – inside and outside the company – is critical to any rewarding business relationship. 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.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY

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.

HEAVY METAL KNOWLEDGE

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. We know that knowledge is power, and in the hands of our passionate team it keeps us ahead.

PEOPLE POWER – CANADA

With 350 dedicated people working with us at our head office and three production plants in Melbourne we have the strength and depth of experience to deliver on any high quality, high volume commitment.

PEOPLE POWER – MEXICO

In just four years, our dedicated Mexican team has grown from a start-up crew and a few machine operators, to a smoothly running complement on over 50 trained and experienced employees.

GEOGRAPHIC SOURCING

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.

PASSION FOR PRECISION

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.

THE ANSWERS. PRECISELY

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.

GIVE US THE GEARS

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.

WORKFLOWS THAT WORK BETTER

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.

FAMILY MATTERS

The two shareholders are brothers. They founded the company in 1986 and still run it. One of their son's – who worked in Melbourne since high school days – in now heading up operations in Mexico. Usinatech is very much a family business with a strong sense of community. This translates into family business standards of operation: fairness, honesty, hard work and a passion for doing things better.

COMMUNITY MATTERS

As a family business that is one of the biggest employers in the region we are proud or status as a n active corporate citizen. We work closely with community groups to ensure that people who come to work for us get immediate access to French and English schools, doctors and dentists, social services and recreational services they may need.
