Our goal moving forward will be to continue to grow our foot print where it makes sense financially. We will to continue to invest in our technical and engineering capabilities throughout Norcan. Engineering, system design and problem solving is a main focus moving forward. With the cost of downtime our clients are looking for their systems to be trouble free by being more reliable with longer warranties and a predictable maintenance schedule.

Quality and high standards are everything to our customer base. That’s why Norcan initiated a new Quality Assurance Program to ensure products meet consistent standards when they leave our shops regardless of whether they come out of Saskatoon, Langley or Calgary.
