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

Raufoss Canada will carry out major work to retrofit its Boisbriand plant in Québec and expand its production capacity over the next three years
which received $7 million in financial support under the ESSOR program administered by Investissement Québec and the Ministère de l'Économie
The manufacturer of forged aluminum car suspension components will install a hot forging line and new automated equipment
upgrade its existing line and develop new products
The company’s plans involve investing $9 million to design
develop and produce parts using new manufacturing processes
<p“This initiative demonstrates our firm intention to pursue our operations in Québec
The new investment will enable us to produce high-quality products at very competitive prices
which bodes well for our ability to secure new contracts from global automobile manufacturers,” said Jean Meredith
The demand for aluminum suspension arms is on the rise across the automotive industry because of new emission regulations
which are forcing manufacturers to reduce vehicle weights
Making North American vehicles lighter through the increased use of aluminum opens up prospects that are particularly enticing for Québec’s processing companies
Raufoss Canada is a subsidiary of Neuman Aluminium
which operates 13 plants across seven countries
the company’s Boisbriand plant today produces 3 million pieces a year exported to the U.S.
Neuman Aluminium belongs to an Austrian holding company
