Divisions
Creaform
Creaform manufactures metrology and 3D engineering devices for use in shop-floor environments[7] It is based in Lévis, Quebec, Canada. The company was founded in 2002 by Martin Lamontagne and two co-workers at Modelex.[8] It began with a $200,000 loan from the Business Development Bank of Canada.[8] In 2009, the company sold its 1000th laser scanner,[9] priced from $50 –100,000.[10] Creaform was acquired by Ametek in 2013 for $120 million in cash.[11] At the time, Creaform had annual sales of $52 million.[11] In 2017, Creaform opened a new, $20 million, headquarters in Levis.[12] The 76,000 square foot headquarters is double the size of the old one, allowing Creaform to triple its production.
