Burnaby-based Creation Technologies
has enjoyed a prolonged phase of
rapid growth. The company, which
has 3,000 employees and 13 manu-
facturing plants in Canada, the U.S.,
Mexico and China, designs and builds
high-tech components for clients that
sell them under their own brands to
third parties. With 10 of its plants in
North America, Creation has access to
aerospace and defence customers that
most rivals can't top. Clients outsource
high-end components—everything
from power systems for airport X-ray
machines to circuit boards for CT
scanners—to Creation, which oversees
design, prototyping, testing, order
ful„llment and repairs. Business is
booming. The privately held company's
revenue topped $800 million in 2016,
and Creation has more than doubled its
sales force in the past 18 months.
