According to Graham Moore, Vice-President of Operations, the company has been able to develop a niche market for low volume product development which reduces the risk of off-shore competition. The team works with clients to develop customized prototypes especially in the rapidly changing electronics market.

Precision Metalcraft is continually pushing forward in terms of competing effectively. From the appropriate use of new technology including robotics and a fully automated finishing system, the company has also educated their workforce in Lean manufacturing, developing one of the strongest 5S programs and increasing overall productivity dramatically. The company has also created a very proactive Marketing and Sales team that doesn’t wait for the work to come, but attempts to find emerging markets and create partnerships to develop products in line with their new customer needs, and above all provide excellent service on every front.

Graham Moore states that “Manitoba is now a leader in continuous improvement, and is one of the best thriving communities for implementation of Lean using consortiums...the more confidence we have in promoting ourselves, the braver we’ll be at tackling global competition.”
