Swinging for a Great Cause
It was during the Golf FORE Kids’ Sake tournament, presented by Linamar Corporation in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph, that our Business Development Manager, Rick Pinga, brought out his best swing.

Under a blazing sun, he took on all 18 holes, hitting that tiny white ball with determination and, at times, a touch of frustration. Because yes, even the less-than-perfect shots can do some good… when they’re for a great cause.

Thank you to all the members of Linamar Corporation for the round of golf — it’s always a pleasure to work with you.

When Tariffs Challenge the Automotive Supply Chain
AMT attended the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA) conference in Windsor, Ontario: “Driven to the Brink – Tariffs and Canada’s Auto Sector,” hosted by Flavio Volpe, President of the APMA.

In a global industry as interconnected as automotive, tariffs simply don’t add up. Flavio Volpe urged all of us to speak out and leverage the power of the media to highlight what the numbers clearly demonstrate: these tariffs make no economic sense.

Canada has been a key player in automotive manufacturing since the 1910s, and today’s industry is more integrated than ever — across borders, supply chains, and technological innovation.

It is crucial to keep this conversation going. In any meaningful dialogue, facts, data, and scientific rigor carry the greatest weight — and that is what will ultimately tip the balance in our favor. The future of the sector depends on it.

Stronger Together — On the Ice and at Work
Whether it’s rising to challenges at work or scoring goals on the ice, it all comes down to the same principle: playing as a team.

Thank you to all the teammates who laced up their skates for this friendly tournament. Fun, passes, goals… and, above all, great team spirit.

Staying at the Forefront of the Industry
Year after year, the conferences organized by the North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) serve as key industry benchmarks. They provide a comprehensive overview of emerging trends, opportunities to attend technical presentations on cutting-edge topics, and the chance to discover new products.

“On a more personal note, it’s also about meeting new people and finally putting faces to the names we usually only see in our Teams meetings,” says Yves Arbour, Process Engineering Coordinator.

A sincere thank you to Stéphane, Rick, and Yves for representing AMT at the “Die Casting Congress and Exposition” in Indianapolis (Indiana).

AMT at MEMA: Connecting with Automotive Industry Leaders
AMT’s Rick Pinga took part in a MEMA – The Vehicle Suppliers Association event held this week at the Toyota Town Hall, located at Toyota Motor Corporation’s R&D Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

It was a great experience to be part of the Québec delegation. Many suppliers were in attendance, and the information shared throughout the event was highly valuable. It was also an excellent opportunity to meet new people, build connections, and hear different perspectives on industry trends and experiences.

Special thanks to the Québec Government Office in Chicago and Investissement Québec for their support.

The Legacy of Roger Tremblay: Daring to Succeed
This is AMT’s very first location in Saint-Cyprien, Québec, Canada. According to the story, the first aluminum part injected using a plastic molding machine was produced here. In fact, AMT founder Roger Tremblay and his colleague Jean-Eudes Denis are said to have rushed outside, fearing the machine might explode.

Today, this story makes us smile, as both the building and the technology seem quite rudimentary. Yet at the time, the idea was remarkably ingenious, and it was this very innovation that truly launched AMT’s development. This milestone left a lasting mark on our history.

Over the years, we have continued to take risks, innovate, explore new techniques, and push the boundaries of die casting. Nearly 60 years later, this journey has led to the mastery of a unique process for manufacturing high-integrity aluminum parts.

And it has served us well.

Celebrating commitment
Every year, we raise jerseys bearing team members’ names and numbers to the ceiling of our Saint-Cyprien factory, just as is done in sports arenas. The number on each jersey represents the years of service of employees who have reached an important milestone.

We see this tradition as a meaningful symbol. Much like in sports arenas, it is our way of paying tribute to those who have chosen to be part of our team and who, through their dedication and commitment, contribute to AMT’s success.

A special thank you to this year’s honorees!

Strong interest in AMT
In June 2023, AMT had a great experience at Proveeduría Automotriz in Monterey, Mexico. We received a great deal of interest during this B2B trade mission.

It’s always a great feeling when people show interest in our work. Frankly, it gives us a real boost of energy.

Thanks to Investissement Québec and the Delegación General de Québec en México (DGQM) for their support, as well as to the other Québec companies that took part in this trade mission.

¡Hasta pronto en Monterrey!

A well-deserved award
In the Lower St. Lawrence region of Québec, Canada, the Chamber of Commerce of the Rivière-du-Loup MRC held its 47th “Gala des Prestiges” on May 4, 2023. This event celebrates the region’s dynamic and innovative entrepreneurial spirit and recognizes businesses that, through their success, have a significant impact on economic activity and regional development.

A trend we follow closely
Each year, engineers, innovators, and thought leaders converge in Novi, Michigan, for a conference and expo focused on keeping up with the fast-moving advanced battery and automotive industries.

Let’s face it, the development of batteries designed for the electrification of road vehicles is on everyone’s lips. Manufacturers, citizens, and governments, it is moving very fast. At AMT, we once again saw the extent of the trend during our visit to The Battery Show and EV Tech Expo.

AMT is monitoring this trend closely and intends to play an active role. Thanks to our A+ process, we manufacture aluminum die-cast parts that meet the industry’s requirements in every respect: high quality, ultra-thin walls, weldable components, heat-treated parts, and high mechanical properties. Our expertise has been recognized many times over.

Furthermore, the use of electric furnaces allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. View the AMT Zero Carbon Melting program.

Die Casting Congress and Exhibition
This one-of-a-kind congress brings together members of the global die-casting industry to exchange knowledge and information aimed at improving processes and the performance of die-casting companies.

The AMT engineering team attended the 2022 Die Casting Congress & Table Top in Lexington, KY, from September 13–15, hosted by the North American Die Casting Association (NADCA).

Thank you, NADCA, for another excellent event! This information-rich gathering gave us the opportunity to meet with many die-casting specialists.

The Great Joy of the Die Casting Industry’s Reunion
Members of AMT’s Business Development and Engineering teams were present at the Exhibition Centre in Nuremberg, Germany, for the 2022 edition of EUROGUSS.

“The die casting community was clearly looking forward to the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas at EUROGUSS 2022,” said Christopher Boss, Executive Director of Exhibitions at NürnbergMesse, summing up the mood in the halls. “Finally!” was the word heard from almost all exhibitors and visitors, expressing the joy of these in-person exchanges after years of pandemic.

At the booths of the 641 exhibitors from 36 countries, several current topics were discussed, notably megacasting, sustainable production methods, the ongoing transition to e-mobility, manufacturing digitalization, and additive manufacturing processes.

This major international exhibition dedicated to die casting (technologies, processes, and products) allows us to meet the most influential players in our industry, discover the latest technologies, and connect with future customers.

The only matchmaking event for the automotive supply chain in Mexico
This well-attended industry event connects OEMs and their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers through a series of one-on-one, face-to-face meetings.

It is the largest B2B supply chain forum bringing together OEMs and third-party suppliers in Mexico. For AMT, it is an ideal opportunity to meet directly with new potential business partners. We were able to connect with many bright minds from the local industry and discuss business opportunities with new partners.

AMT was proud to be part of the Québec delegation. Special thanks to Investissement Québec.

The 13th Annual Purchasing Summit
Marelli’s new North American headquarters, where the summit took place, proved to be particularly enlightening. The event provided an opportunity for Plante Moran to present the findings of their study on the American Automotive OEM-Supplier Working Relations Index.

The results of this study allowed AMT to learn some interesting data about our industry. It appears that traditional purchasing models must evolve if companies want to improve their competitive dynamics.

This event also allowed us to interact with purchasing executives from Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan and Toyota.

More than 150 guests attended in person, with another 50 online.
