The Canadian Shield, a Waterloo Region based advanced manufacturer, specializing in the design and production of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers and the public, recently launched their 100% Canadian designed & manufactured Mask Automation Line & Vision System. This system not only improves The Canadian Shield's production capacity, but is also designed for export in order to help other countries around the world secure their PPE supply chains.
Through partnerships within the Waterloo Region technology & automation supercluster, The Canadian Shield has designed cutting edge medical device manufacturing technology that significantly improves the production rate, quality control, and cost efficiency of medical grade masks. Compared to overseas production machinery, which often fails to meet safety standards, The Canadian Shield Automation and Vision system is a reliable, turnkey solution for any mask manufacturers looking to invest in becoming globally competitive and sustainable.
By investing in the production of both medical devices and automation & vision systems, The Canadian Shield is building the foundation for a stronger manufacturing industry in our country through high skilled jobs, profitable exports and Canadian IP.
“What started as a response to a critical shortage of PPE for our frontline healthcare workers has transformed into a high-tech enterprise, creating Canadian intellectual property and world-leading solutions for globally competitive manufacturing of medical devices,” says Jeremy Hedges, Founder and CEO of The Canadian Shield.
