What Artmetco does
Artmetco is a Canadian contract manufacturer operating under the MEP Group (MEP Technologies Inc. / Artmetco Inc.), founded in 1945 as a sheet metal fabricator and headquartered in Saint-Laurent, Quebec. The company provides turnkey, 'womb to tomb' Product Manufacturing Solutions Partner services to high-tech OEMs, spanning engineering and product design, sheet metal forming and fabrication, electromechanical assembly and integration, and specialized services such as Kanban-JIT inventory, prototyping, and quality control. Core manufacturing capabilities include laser cutting (Trumpf TruLaser 2030), TIG/MIG and spot/projection welding, press-brake bending, PEM sert insertion, deburring, grinding, polishing, an ESD clean room for sensitive electronics, and a modernized automated paint line. The firm serves four primary verticals: semiconductor OEMs and equipment manufacturers, medical device OEMs (with named work for Hologic), data sorting/telecommunications/automation, and general manufacturing; named anchor customers include Celestica (recognized with the 2016 TCOO Supplier Award for Best Semiconductor Equipment Partner) and Hologic.
Operations run across four production sites in Laval and Ville Saint-Laurent (more than 250,000 sq ft) plus an Artmetco Asia facility outside Suzhou, China (100,000+ sq ft, established 2005, relocated 2012), giving a mixed North America/Asia manufacturing model for cost and capacity flexibility. The MEP Group employs approximately 300 workers. Artmetco is ISO 9001:2015 certified across Canadian and Asian operations. The business model is B2B contract manufacturing sold directly to enterprise OEMs via an enterprise field sales motion; pricing is project-quoted and not publicly disclosed. Two specialized business units — Artmetco Data Solutions (data center infrastructure products and Authorized Integrator channel) launched 2010 and Artmetco Energy Solutions (vertical axis wind turbines) launched 2010 — extend the franchise beyond traditional fabrication. Recent strategic activity centers on the 2017 Celestica award validation, ongoing OEM relationship depth, and continued facility and capability investment.
