Elliott-Matsuura Canada

What Elliott-Matsuura Canada does

Elliott-Matsuura Canada Inc. is a privately held Canadian machine tool distributor and solutions integrator headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, operating as a majority-owned subsidiary of Japan's Matsuura Machinery Corporation (since 1988) with Nakamura Tome Precision as a minority shareholder. Founded in 1950 as B. Elliott (Canada) Ltd., the company is the exclusive Canadian channel for roughly 20 premium Japanese, European, and North American machine tool brands, organized across seven product categories: CNC machining centers (Matsuura, Fanuc, Hurco, Mandelli, Correa), turning centers (Nakamura-Tome, Tornos, Honor), electrical discharge machines (Chmer, Exeron), metrology (Hexagon, Starrett, Mahr, Vicivision), metal fabricating (LVD, Faccin Group), additive manufacturing (Matsuura Lumex, Renishaw), and industrial automation (Universal Robots, Waybo).

The company serves Canadian manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, mining, defense, and general precision machining, with over 35 service engineers and 20 applications engineers providing coast-to-coast coverage. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales augmented by recurring service and maintenance contracts, spare parts, accessories, and financing programs; over 80% of transactions involve the Application Engineering Group, which delivers turn-key projects, contract programming, process development, and tooling/fixture design. Most recently, the December 2024 Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence partnership has doubled metrology market penetration across Central and Western Canada, signaling a deliberate Western Canada geographic and metrology product expansion.
