KCC

What KCC does

Kumi Canada Corporation (KCC) is a Tier-1 automotive plastics supplier established in 1998 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kumi Kasei Japan and operating from a single headquarters and manufacturing facility at 55 Reagens Industrial Parkway in Bradford, Ontario. The company designs, develops, and manufactures interior and exterior plastic trim assemblies for automotive OEMs, primarily Honda of Canada, with a long-standing partnership of more than 20 years supported by repeated awards for Outstanding Quality and Outstanding Delivery. KCC's operating footprint includes ~4,000 active part numbers, 900,000 parts shipped per month, and a workforce of 270+ associates, with capacity having been expanded by 40% through a 2019 facility expansion of 54,000 sq ft and a further three-year capital program announced in February 2026.

KCC's underlying technology stack is anchored by high-tonnage plastic injection moulding equipment paired with in-house-designed automation cells — the engineering team builds robots, workstations, and tooling aids from CAD models, supplemented by industrial 3D printing, computer vision inspection, and robotic part handling. The company has formalized partnerships with Engel (moulding equipment), Fanuc (robotics), Advanced Motion & Controls (motion), and Keyence (vision) to support its 2026 expansion. KCC markets itself as a Tier-1 supplier offering class-leading design, product development, manufacturing, and automation capabilities, and it cites Industry 4.0 / IoT-compatible manufacturing as part of its production infrastructure.

KCC generates revenue on a hardware-sales basis — per-part manufacture and sale of injection-moulded components and assemblies to automotive OEMs under B2B, quote-based pricing. The go-to-market is direct enterprise/field sales into a Tier-1 supply chain, with no disclosed public pricing. Its customer segmentation is narrow and vertical (Automotive OEMs), with Honda of Canada the dominant named customer and approximately 10 or more automotive-sector customers in total. The company is privately held and does not disclose revenue. Its corporate parent (Kumi Kasei Japan) provides strategic oversight via the Kumi North American Group, which also includes Kamco Industries in Ohio and Kumi Alabama, but operational decisions at the Bradford facility are led by President Justin Moreau.
