Precimax

What Precimax does

Precimax Ltd. is a privately held, family-owned precision machine shop founded in 1974 and based in Lasalle (Montreal), Quebec, Canada. The company operates from a 10,000 sq.ft purpose-built facility and currently employs between 11 and 50 people, with three generations of the founding family actively involved in operations since 2011. It sells custom precision machining services directly to customers across at least eight verticals, including pharmaceutical/medical, industrial equipment, food and beverage, transportation, packaging, energy, pulp and paper, and miscellaneous custom projects.

The core technical offering centers on CNC machining, including high-precision CNC milling, CNC turning, and 3- and 4-axis machining, supplemented by welding (expanded in 2014), prototyping, full-scale production runs, repairs, OEM parts reproduction, and 3D printing for additive prototyping. Precimax has incrementally expanded its capital base, adding its fifth CNC machine in 2020 and currently executing a 2024-2025 facility expansion. The company's product mix covers shafts, bushings, rolls, pulleys, gears, sleeves, bearings, spacers, sprockets, and assemblies, with an emphasis on small-batch and one-off custom work.

The business model is a job-shop model: pricing is quote-based per project (not publicly disclosed), customers contact the company directly via phone, email, website, or in-person visits, and the company offers free local pickups and deliveries plus emergency service. Marketing is conducted through a website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, complemented by referral-driven business and participation in industry tradeshows (first in 2018, with ADM Tradeshow Montreal 2026 planned). Strategic partnerships with PME Montreal and the Canadian Association of Defence & Security (CADSI) signal intent to access additional vertical and community networks.
