Optima Case Study - Machining components for the energy industry

The Business Challenge

Optima Manufacturing is located in the heart of Canada’s vital oil and gas industry, which stretches from coast to coast, but has deep roots and an annual $39 billion market in Alberta alone. By virtue of its location, 90 percent of the company’s business is machining components for the energy industry.

Optima was formed in 1990 by five experienced principals sharing a commitment to the highest design, precision machining, and assembly standards. Today, Optima’s recently expanded modern facility contains state-of-the-art CNC multi-axis machining centers and turning centers, CNC EDM machines, grinders, and additional machining support equipment. Optima’s commitment to quality is demonstrated by a host of gauging equipment including a CNC CMM and optical comparators, plus surface and hardness testers.

The company prides itself in operating an efficient, open organization with company-sponsored continuous learning programs to keep abreast of rapid changes and improvements brought about through the application of technology.
