Advanced Powders & Coatings (AP&C), a subsidiary of Swedish firm Arcam AB, has decided to expand its operations and build a second plant in the greater Montreal area. The company, which specializes in the manufacturing of metal powders for industrial sectors such as aerospace, already employs close to 85 people in Boisbriand, Que., and plans to invest approximately $31 million in a new, more automated facility that will increase capacity and create 106 new jobs over the next three years. More than half of the new hires will start in 2017.
The expansion will enable the company to increase production capacity to meet growing demand for specialized powders used in additive manufacturing, particularly by major aerospace industry players.
“Our successful Montreal beginnings and Montreal International's strategic support have been key in making our expansion project possible. This investment means that we can provide our existing and future clients with superior quality materials to meet the high manufacturing standards of the aerospace and biomedical industries. With this new powder production facility and advances in atomization technology, we will significantly increase our production capacity in 2017 and beyond,” explained Alain Dupont, president and CEO of AP&C.
