Canadian composite manufacturing company establishes U.S. facility

By Michelle Froese | May 17, 2018

Sigma Industries Inc., a manufacturing company specializing in the production of composite components, announced that it is expanding its operations in the U.S. with the acquisition of a 70,000 square foot facility in Surgoinsville, Tennessee. Sigma is currently involved in the heavy-duty truck, transit, machinery and wind-power markets.

Sigma Industries, active in the transit and wind energy markets, sells its products to original equipment manufacturers and distributors in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

The new facility will produce composite parts for existing and future customers, and is strategically located near several key customers in the U.S. who will benefit from the same processes and services. The cost of the facility and required building improvements are expected to be about $2.5 million, and the facility is expected to be operational by the end of the second quarter of calendar 2019.

In conjunction with this acquisition, Sigma Industries created an operating subsidiary in the U.S., RMC Advanced Technologies Inc. Over the next three years, RMC Advanced Technologies Inc. will invest approximately $4.5 million in equipment and expects to employ up to 50 people when the facility runs at full capacity. R

“This expansion in the U.S. represents an important strategic milestone for us,” said Denis Bertrand, President of Sigma Industries. “It is the first step in our strategy to grow our operations in the U.S. market. In essence, it will allow us to better serve existing customers while providing us with the opportunity to grow our business in a market of significant size. Furthermore, we are proud to be in a position to serve our transit industry customers with ‘Buy America’ compliant products.”

The project is made possible in part by the assistance from the Quebec Government’s Accelerated Growth Center program (Centre de croissance accéléré or CCA) for which Sigma was chosen in May 2017. This program is part of the “Destination: U.S.” segment of the Ministry’s Québec Export Strategy for 2016-2020, a Government of Quebec program that offers personalized services to companies developing their U.S. markets.
