Québec’s equipment and specialized suppliers distinguish themselves with the high-tech machinery and customized solutions they offer to smelters around the world. There are a little over 50 equipment suppliers in Québec spread across the territory.
The expertise of Québec’s equipment suppliers developed not only through the smelters’ presence in the province since the early 1900, but also to cater to aluminium casting factories’ needs. Indeed, equipment and specialized suppliers are active in one or many of these fields:
- Primary production
- Secondary production (aluminium scrap) and recasting; and
- Semi finished products’ shaping (foundries)
