Orientech

What Orientech does

Orientech is a privately held Canadian custom automation manufacturer founded in 1992 and headquartered in Lachute, Quebec. The company designs, engineers, and builds bespoke small parts automation equipment — vibratory and centrifugal feeders, hopper/step feeders and elevators, turn-key automated assembly machines (indexing and continuous motion rotary, linear), cap-lining machines including the LM-FLEX large-opening variant and flip-top closing systems, and stacking and packaging lines. Solutions integrate FANUC robotics, Festo pneumatics, Keyence machine vision, Dorner conveyors, and Selig sealing components into cohesive production systems with full in-house mechanical, electrical, and software teams.

The company sells to enterprise and mid-market manufacturers across five primary verticals — plastic molding, health & beauty care, cosmetics, life sciences (pharmaceutical and medical devices), and transportation equipment — plus a long tail of other industries (writing instruments, HVAC, food & beverage, defense, sporting goods, cannabis accessories, etc.). Customers are described as multinational CPG/FMCG, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, medical, and transportation equipment manufacturers, with documented outcomes such as 60% labor reduction and doubled throughput, and equipment still operating 20+ years after delivery, indicating long customer relationships.

Orientech operates an enterprise field-sales motion with project-based, quote-driven pricing and multi-year contracts, supplemented by after-sales technical support, spare parts, and training. Go-to-market is direct across Canada, the USA, and Mexico, with a dedicated US Sales Director. Revenue comes from one-time capital equipment sales plus recurring installation/maintenance services. Ownership is family-based (Carrière family since 2000) with no disclosed institutional investors, and the business was expanded through the 2007 acquisition of MMC Automation Inc.'s assets and patents.
