From our shop located in Îles-de-la-Madeleine, we manufacture everything from simple sheet metal items and solid machined parts, to custom electronic circuit boards and complete sheet-metal chassis. We've designed, built and repaired telecommunication equipment, audio equipment, CNC controllers, temperature control devices, power supplies, etc.
