With the help of the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), Protocase is revolutionizing the steel fabrication and machining business. Using ultra-lean manufacturing techniques, Protocase can take a product from design to completion in two to three days — an unparallelled speed for specialized one-off work. Protocase has grown steadily since selling its first product in 2003. The company now processes 300 to 400 custom orders per week and boasts 140 employees.
