We believe that as a company and as a country we will only compete with foreign competitors by sharing our expertise.

Plains Fabrication believes strongly that Canadian manufacturing companies must work collectively through established industrial associations and come together to share collective experiences. We, at Plains, maintain an open door policy and welcome individuals from any industry to come and inspect our facilities. We believe that as a company and as a country we will only compete with foreign competitors by sharing our expertise. Our committed belief is echoed in our motto “where customers and suppliers become partners in success.”

We not only believe in team work with other companies, but within Plains as well. The team concept at Plains is integral to how we operate. It flows within our company, and it continues beyond to our associations with great organizations like CME, MARIOS, MAC Committee, APVMA, Productivity Alberta, Careers: Next Generation, and a number of others. We invite you to join us to help meet the multitude of challenges that face us as a nation: a nation that needs manufacturing and the hundreds of thousands of jobs it supplies to our economy; a nation that is surviving the economic crises, in part, because of the strong and growing need for products made in Canada. The Canadian Manufacturing industry meets this need without government subsidies and by paying fair wages and benefits. There are no shortcuts to our success, and we share a list of issues that require our attention. If we combine our voices and come together we can learn from each other, and with a unified voice we can secure a strong and healthy manufacturing industry that will compete worldwide.

The continuation of our industry can only be accomplished through a combined effort. So with that thought, we would invite you to join us in great industry related organizations such as CME.

With the ever-growing competition Canadian Manufacturers face from other countries, we need to find new ways of streamlining production, improving workflow, and ultimately increasing production without degrading the quality products we are known for throughout the world. In fact, in recent times our quality has brought our manufacturing companies customers from China and India. These are the countries we find ourselves competing with, but even now they are looking to us because of what we bring to the table. It is something to be proud of, and something we must work hard to promote and foster.

It is our sincere belief that we will not do this as individual companies. The continuation of our industry can only be accomplished through a combined effort. So with that thought, we would invite you to join us in great industry related organizations such as CME. By continuing to focus only internally on our businesses we end up like the firefighter who is trying to put out a fire in a trash can. As the fire is extinguished he steps back to admire a job well done and realizes the rest of the building is burning down around him, we miss the big picture. Our focus must be broad and the team must be strong, and Canada is filled with great entrepreneurs. If that group unites, we will be unstoppable.

If you would like more information of any association that Plains is part of, please feel free to contact them and they would be happy to supply you the information you need. We look forward to working with your organization and invite you all to join the team.
