Have you heard about the professional machining techniques diploma, offered at the Neufchatel Professional Training Center?

Although there exists more than a single academic road towards acquiring the necessary competences to land a job in the machining world, in Quebec, the DEC in machining techniques, offered at the Centre de formation professionnel de Neufchâtel could end up being your favored one.

If you’re a person who…

• likes accomplishing high precision manual work
• handles objects with great dexterity
• has a good sense of observation to judge of the importance of details for an entire system to work well
• has a well developed hands-on ability
• can be both patient and perseverent

You could well sport the ideal profile for this 1,800 hours program which can be attended either by day or by night, to better suit the needs of those who already have a job.

In order to better promote this academic program, Genevieve Pare, Communications Director at AMEC Machining, was “on the floor” at the 17th Edition of the Salon Éducation Emploi which was presented from the 26th to the 29th of October, 2011, at the Centre de foires de Québec. If you would like to hear the good news about this program from Ms Pare herself, you’re in luck, she’s on YouTube:

Even though there’s a regional dip in the number of qualified candidates for the available machining jobs, Ms Pare remains confident that by investing in the upcoming wave of workers, the situation will get better, over time.

Quebec manufacturers are currently fighting to keep their leadership position in many fields, against foreign rivals. Banking on both innovation and the pursuit of their business plan, domestic manufacturers can excel despite the ongoing economic uncertainty.

To discuss these matters, Genevieve Pare, Communications Director at AMEC Machining, went to Boucherville, on Thursday, October 20th, 2011, to the 5th Edition of the Journée Donneurs d’ordres / Fournisseurs. Apart from the discussions pertaining to the various strategic matters that Quebec-based manufacturers have to deal with, there was a “speed dating” session, for entrepreneurs.

Among the good ideas voiced out, during this event, some leaders suggest finding a suitable niche towards a better differentiation, especially against Asian competitors. There are lots and lots of untapped niches for inventive manufacturers, operating here, in Quebec. Certain people have observed how Asian competitors aren’t as efficient as their North-American counterparts, namely in high-tech. Let’s just think about the military material or aeronautics fields where Quebec occupies an enviable position.

Presented by Sous-Traitance Industrielle Québec (STIQ), the event was a success, for AMEC Machining. Meeting with industry leaders from the manufacturing industry was one part of the work, for Ms Paré but over the course of different gatherings, lots of key information was acquired to better serve AMEC Machining’s customers, for their precision machining needs.

For many companies in the Quebec manufacturing field, business is rather good but the challenges linked to Asian competition need to be overcome to defend the comparative value of their operations, in the long run.

AMEC Machining knows its employees are first rate, that its ultramodern tools and robots coupled with a solid business plan can make a huge difference to continue serving it’s customers well but to experience this amazing level of service and quality, you need to contact Genevieve Pare now, at (418) 878-4133.

Success and excellence in transport are still flourishing in Quebec and accordingly, the AMETVS has echoed this enviable fact, in a big way.

Over 200 industry executives and partners in the world of transportation have participated to the 11th Edition of the Association des manufacturiers d’équipements de transport et de véhicules spéciaux (AMETVS) Congress, held on the 14th of September, 2011.

Under the collaborative R&D theme, this important event was presented at the Mortagne Hotel, in Boucherville. You had to be there to enjoy key information of themes such as research and development collaboration, innovation, project financing and of course, upcoming possibilities for the green economy.

Of course, Genevieve Pare, Director of Communications and Human Resources at AMEC Machining was there.

The networking part of the event went very well, so did the conferences but Ms Pare has also learned strategic information regarding the 2011-2020 Action Plan for electric vehicles and the other means considered by the ministère du Développement économique, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation to further this plan. The information came directly from Martin Aube, Director at the ministry’s transport equipment direction.

AMEC Machining continues to shine in the world of precision machining, especially in the transport segment. You’d like to known more? Get in touch with Ms Pare, by phone, at (418) 878-4133 to discuss things over, right away.

There’s absolutely no doubt that the wind power industry, in Quebec, has a lot of wind beneath its wings!

To discuss the main issues pertaining to the wind power industry, in Quebec, representatives from this industry have gathered, yesterday, the 17th of August, 2011, in Beaupre, at the “Foire Commerciale Éole 2011″, which is, in essence, a commercial wind power fair.

Mr Bernard Paré, President at the CLD de la Côte-de-Beaupré, has said “It’s because of this type of event that the executives in our regional SMBs can position themselves to profit from the boon generated by this industry”. Clearly, as a growing regional business, AMEC Machining is well positioned to benefit from the wind power industry as a go to shop for the machining of small and medium-sized precision parts.

Wind power park developers, industry executives, including internationally reknowned wind engine workers, Enercon, GE, REpower Systems, Siemens Energy, Vestas and some of their purveyors, various specialty workers at some of the best engineering firms, manufacturers for mechanical and electronic parts, private, public and parapublic company executives and managers offering a variety of services as well as elected municipal representatives and State officials, all directly or indirectly concerned by this industry, were present to participate in this event.

AMEC Machining has seized the opportunity, as a participant at this commercial wind power fait to position the company with other industry executives. The occasion was perfect to promote the precision parts manufacturing services that set us apart from all other companies in our field.
