Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division opens new Canadian location

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, North Kingstown, R.I., has selected Oakville, Ont., as the location for its new facility. The new, 15,000-sq.-ft. facility is currently under construction and will house up to 100 employees. The project is slated for completion in fourth-quarter 2019.

The workplace configuration accommodates a state-of-the-art training centre, multiple meeting rooms, and offices for Hexagon teams in product development, quality assurance, sales, engineering, customer support, and administration.

The facility will also include a product showroom serving as a focal point for the company’s metrology and manufacturing technologies.

Hexagon will consolidate all of its Manufacturing Intelligence businesses in eastern Canada into this central location, which includes headquarters for Forming Technologies’ development, sales and engineering; MSC Software; and teams from Hexagon’s production software and metrology portfolios.

In 2018 the company also opened a large regional office called the Hexagon Calgary Campus in Calgary, which serves as the head office for multiple Hexagon divisions in Western Canada.

“We are excited to announce our new headquarters in Canada, which solidifies our strong commitment to Canadian manufacturers from coast to coast,” said Michael Gallagher, president and CEO, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Canada. “We will offer world-class support for our design and engineering, production, and metrology product portfolios, including FTI, PC-DMIS, EDGECAM, and Simufact. We will also continue to offer expert-level support and training courses for a variety of in-demand technologies such as scanning and integrated solutions for the Smart Factory, along with FTI’s industry-standard stamping courses. We have also incorporated a large showroom to feature metrology scanners as well as an Autonomous Driving Simulation workstation.”
