History
DSM was originally founded in 2000 to fill a gap in the electronics manufacturing market. For more than 2 decades, we have continued to grow, expanding our facilities in Canada and the USA, and strengthening our relationships with our customers.
We recently added new SMT production lines to both our facilities to further grow our capacity for new opportunities. On top of easing maintenance processes, this added capacity is another step towards Industry 4.0. We are continuing to invest in new technology to build on quality, efficiency, and automation.
