Vancouver is Canada's Pacific gateway and one of the country's most dynamic technology hubs. The city's economy blends cutting-edge technology, clean energy innovation, film and entertainment technology, and Asia-Pacific trade, creating diverse demand for contract manufacturing services. However, Vancouver's high real estate and operating costs make local manufacturing expensive, driving many companies to look for cost-effective manufacturing partners elsewhere in Canada.
Automated Assembly Inc. offers Vancouver businesses a compelling alternative: Ontario manufacturing quality at significantly lower costs than BC-based manufacturers, with reliable cross-country shipping. Our facility in Woodstock, Ontario provides the full spectrum of manufacturing capabilities, electromechanical assembly, CNC machining, metal fabrication, prototyping, and quality testing, all under one roof, with rigorous quality control and full ERP traceability.
For Vancouver's thriving tech sector, our prototyping services deliver functional prototypes in 1-3 weeks. For cleantech companies developing solar, EV, or energy management products, our experience with electromechanical assembly and precision manufacturing ensures your products are built to the highest standards. And for companies involved in Asia-Pacific trade, our Made-in-Canada manufacturing with rigorous quality control provides the quality assurance and traceability that international markets demand.
