Strategic Growth and Expansion

In 1973, CET expanded its capabilities through the acquisition of two specialized companies:

  • Inspection Air Gauge Ltd.

    A leader in the manufacturing of precision gauges and fixtures, serving industries including automotive and aerospace across North America.
  • Tru-Die Ltd.
    236 Edward Street, St. Thomas, Ontario, N5P 1Z5
    Known for the design and production of advanced tooling systems, including solutions for powdered metal, fine blanking, and aerospace manufacturing.

These additions allowed us to diversify our expertise and deepen our commitment to high-precision engineering and tooling.
