Canada is renowned for its many attributes: beautiful lakes, mountains, a variety of wildlife and, of course, a rich legacy of hockey champions. But did you know it is also recognized for its manufacturing? In fact, the province of Montreal is rated 3 in the world for aerospace manufacturing. To stay ahead in a fast-paced industry, many Canadian customers rely on equipment and expert knowledge from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence to help them succeed. In this post, I want to look at how we are supporting them to help quality drive productivity.
