Innovating through collaboration
Creating innovative solutions requires fully understanding our customers’ unique needs, which is why ARaymond takes a partnership approach when it comes to product developments. By working closely with our customers, our engineering teams are able to create the solutions which best meet their assembly challenges, whether that requires making processes more efficient, improving ergonomics and robustness, functional integration, reducing labor, or all of the above.

80% of my time is spent creating the future
"We run a state-of-the-art highly-automated facility equipped with robots and video quality control systems. I spend most of my time on continuous improvement, developing new processes and commissioning new machines. Our plant is constantly evolving. It is my job to make sure we have the resources we need to manufacture the volumes our customers need to the highest quality standards, at all times.
Design and manufacturing are closely related. Today’s processes are so complex that design and production engineers work hand in hand every day to invent tomorrow’s applications. I am proud to be a part of these major shifts."
