Technology's CEO sat down with Canadian Manufacturing to speak about the company's upcoming investments and the EV manufacturing industry's transition Raufoss Technology’s manufacturing facilities showing their expansions and updates over the years (Credit: Raufoss Technology) Raufoss Technology announced an $18M investment into its manufacturing operations at the beginning of May automation and investments to increase and replace plant lines Canadian Manufacturing sat down with Jean Meredith to ask about the company’s plans and challenges moving forward Q: This new announcement of $18M earmarked for new machinery is the latest in a series of investments being made by manufacturers involved in the EV manufacturing supply chain How has this landscape changed over the last year Jean Meredith: There’s an imperative need now to set up the supply chain regardless of engine type Carmakers need to reduce weight when it’s an EV and we’re seeing more business now from carmakers with changing needs We’re seeing business and requests for suspension components from Chinese OEMs that we had no idea existed even three years ago Q: How do you plan to spend this investment specifically JM: $3M will go towards improving plant lines As a business we’ve grown by 300% over the last few years 80% of our current manufacturing operations are net-new in recent years Q: We’ve seen big investments announced in Ontario recently from automakers I’m wondering how this affects a business based in Montreal or does it have an adverse effect on the manufacturing supply chain the Quebec region JM: Our high level strategy is to be the most green supplier for components We know we have clean electricity here in Quebec so we’re focused on optimizing the plant improving our robotics operations and developing our staff Q: We’ve seen some manufacturers experience challenges with regards to labour and talent retention how has the labour landscape effected Raufoss JM: The last two or three years have been challenging We’ve hired 130 people over the last three years and it’s particularly challenging because we’re looking for highly skilled employees but we’re trying to use the TFW program to bring more people in on contracts Q: Is there anything you’d like to see changed that would make talent retention easier JM: We feel like the process could be quicker When you have to bring someone in from outside Canada it takes around 12-18 months to bring them in that requires you to anticipate hiring challenges over a year in advance of when you’ll require the staff are there any particular strategies that have helped Raufoss become more successful JM: There’s so much competition for talent from other industries we’ve had to develop them through the college system Raufoss has a program through a college that helps us find employees They’re extremely well-qualified and they come right out of the college ready to contribute to the workforce Q: Where do you see the EV transition going from here are we on target to develop the country’s EV manufacturing supply chain in your opinion but I think the market will actually slow down We’re not at the pace we were hearing about a year or two ago OEM’s are realizing that they can’t go at that speed The government tariffs being discussed right now would just be a patch to buy time and I don’t see that as a long-term solution China is so fast in developing EVs and its related technologies that we have to consider if countries like ours can even be fully electric what do you want people to know about Raufoss Technology and what it’s trying to do in the marketplace JM: We’re trying to be experts in light-weighting We have light-weighting solutions for OEMs and we’re involved in assembly and ball joint manufacturing to help reduce the weights of vehicles regardless of the type of engine Canadian Manufacturing is the top source for daily industry-focused news across Canada We cover the world of
