Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Vention earned its spot with a three-year growth of 964%.

Since 2016, Vention has empowered high-mix manufacturers to implement industrial automation through cloud software and a modular hardware ecosystem. The self-serve platform combines a suite of easy-to-use engineering software and plug-and-play automation components, enabling manufacturing professionals to design, order, and deploy automated equipment by themselves directly from their web browsers. The single-platform approach to the design-to-deployment workflow cuts the usual project time from months to days, enabling clients to benefit from industrial automation much sooner than with traditional approaches.

More than ever, manufacturers need automation and are willing to try new innovative approaches to get started,” said Etienne Lacroix, CEO of Vention. “In the past 6 years, Vention has not only upskilled manufacturing professionals as automation practitioners but has also helped North American and European manufacturing businesses stay competitive at the global level.”
