ABOUT US
We are a Canadian engineering firm specializing in the design, development and integration of engineered systems for heavy-duty mobile equipment. Since our founding in 2003, we have partnered with companies in mining, oil & gas, defense, construction and many other industries to solve complex challenges and to modernize equipment through automation and electrification.
The people of MEDATech are not just engineers, technologists and mechanics. Many of us have worked in mining and other industries where we operated the kinds of heavy equipment that we build. This has allowed us to become expert in building great machines, and in consulting on the solutions you need.
MEDATech delivers practical, purpose-built solutions where standard equipment falls short.
