Since 1995, AMEC Corporation specializes in the recurring fabrication of small and medium high-precision parts for highly-standardized sectors.
AMEC offers you a complete turnkey service that includes product management from production to delivery from its Québec and Granby plants.
We’re more than just a machine shop—we offer you peace of mind and outstanding technical service. AMEC is an extension of your business, and we’ll take care of all your requests and needs to ensure that your project is carried out to perfection.
AMEC controls product quality by using a bank of suppliers that has been approved, audited and meets the standards required by our customers.
Our equipment includes about 20 modern, high-tech, fully-automated CNC machines (4 to 5 axis), which offer customers a large production capacity and competitive delivery times.
Even before AMEC Usinage was founded in 1995, François Doyon and Christian Beaulieu, the two mechanical engineering graduates behind the company, shared a common vision to mass-produce precision parts.
To fulfill their business vision, they assembled a team of professionals who were both competent and passionate about the field of machining.
During the company’s first few months of existence, employees were busy repairing individual parts by machining processes and working out of a small rented space in Québec City.
AMEC Usinage eventually came closer to the founders’ original vision from 1997 to 1999 with the acquisition of digital control machines, thanks to which the level of expertise to machine precision parts in series continued to grow.
In September 2000, in view of the steady increase in volume of business, AMEC Usinage acquired of a 3600 sq. ft building, followed by a 1500 sq. ft extension to the existing building.
In the spring of 2004, the shareholders chose to put a management team in place to support day-to-day activities in addition to overseeing future growth.
At the same time, to appropriate a larger share of the market, shareholders decided to acquire a competitor: Atelier d’usinage BG. In addition to bolstering the AMEC Usinage profile, this acquisition contributed to increasing production capacity and remedy the lack space on their premises.
Since June 2004, AMEC Usinage operates in 20,000 sq. ft facilities.
In 2010, AMEC won the performance award for continuous improvement in our production from Sous-Traitance Industrielle Québec (STIQ), a regional subcontracting association.
In response to business growth and aging machinery, AMEC invested $1.8 million in cutting-edge machinery. AMEC then owned 18 CNC machines, employed 54 people and operated 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday and 12 hours a day on weekends. AMEC posted sales of $4.5 million.
In 2014, the company obtained certification under the AS9100 aerospace standard. AMEC was the first company in the Quebec City region to participate in the MACH initiative (an aeronautical performance label managed by AERO Montreal since 2011).
AMEC was rewarded for our efforts and won the Gilles Demers SME of the Year award in 2016 as part of the MACH initiative.
In 2017, the company conducted a second international recruitment mission in Brazil and recruited four new experienced Brazilian foreign workers.
In 2018, AMEC was awarded the MACH 4 maturity label and is one of the smallest companies in Quebec to achieve this level of excellence.
The arrival of two new shareholders breathed new life into the company. Geneviève Paré, Director of Business and Organizational Development, and Éric Morin, Operations Manager, officially
became shareholders in July 2020.
During the pandemic, AMEC lands the largest contract in its history: the production of all the machined components of the new artificial respirator for CAE. To serve this new customer better, AMEC invested nearly $1M in state-of-the-art equipment.
In March 2021, AMEC wins the manufacturing industry’s AGILITÉ 2020 prize awarded by STIQ for its achievements and innovations during the pandemic.
