Usinage FB

What Usinage FB does

Usinage FB is a family-owned precision contract manufacturer founded in 2000 in Repentigny, Quebec, by François Blanchard, a machinist with 15+ years of prior industrial mechanics experience. The company operates a single production facility in Repentigny and employs approximately 40 people, including specialized machinists, a draftsman, and a quality inspection team. Its service portfolio spans multi-axis CNC machining of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and plastics (2-axis through 5-axis), industrial welding (MIG, TIG, Arc, Rod, Brazing, Argon purge), sheet metal cutting and bending via supplier network, surface treatment and plating, mechanical assembly, and CMM-based quality inspection. Equipment includes Haas, MAZAK, Awea, and DMU CNC machines with a maximum envelope of 40" x 100" for milling and 18" diameter x 150" length for turning.

The company serves enterprise B2B customers across at least 10 industrial verticals, including pharmaceutical, medical equipment, food processing, forestry, printing, hydroelectric, robotics, automotive, rail transport, and military/defense. PMC (Programme de marchandise contrôlé du Canada) certification enables the firm to manufacture controlled goods for defense and security applications, providing a regulated channel to a higher-margin customer base. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales: customers engage through on-site facility visits, direct visits to Usinage FB with drawings, or remote file submission by email, with quote-based pricing on a project-by-project basis and no publicly disclosed pricing or multi-year contracts. Turnkey solutions combine in-house manufacturing with subcontracted surface treatment and assembly through a long-built supplier network.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm has been growing continuously since founding, expanding facilities in 2008 and acquiring advanced CNC equipment in 2012, and received a $363,527 grant from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions in 2026. A second-generation ownership transfer is currently underway. The firm is privately held, family-owned, has no external institutional investors, and operates exclusively within Quebec and broader Canadian industrial markets.
