Reinforcing Industry Ties and Reshaping the Manufacturing Landscape

Recognizing the urgent need to address the critical labour shortage and meet the demands of an evolving industry, Enginuity assembled a team of skilled professionals to bridge the gap between the automation industry and the manufacturing sector.
Enginuity and IMO Foods: A Success Story
Among the many business owners grappling with the complexities of integrating automation into their operations was Phil LeBlanc, the Owner and CEO of IMO Foods. His encounter with Enginuity at a trade show became a significant turning point. Faced to navigate the intricacies of new technologies and achieve measurable results, Phil enlisted Enginuity.
The Enginuity team, renowned for their ability to grasp manufacturing challenges at a granular level, embarked on an in-depth discovery process. Collaborating closely with Phil and his team at IMO Foods, and building on exploratory work conducted by the New Brunswick Research and Productivity Council ; they meticulously examined the company’s existing operations and identified areas for improvement. Guided by waste reduction, productivity enhancement, and quality improvement principles, they devised a groundbreaking solution.
The impact of Enginuity’s innovation was astonishing. IMO Foods experienced an unprecedented surge in productivity and efficiency. By removing an interim packaging step and re-working product flow through the factory, they doubled throughput capacity. The newfound efficiency has led to cost reductions, fewer employee movements, increased profit margins, and faster order fulfillment.
