About ATS Industrial Automation
ATS Industrial Automation develops and manufactures automation solutions for highly dynamic industries worldwide, in particular assembly and test systems for e-mobility (battery modules and packs, e-motors, e-rotors, inverters, e-axles), for clean energy (grid energy storage, fuel cells and electrolysers) and for nuclear power plants including small modular reactors (SMR). The portfolio comprises high-speed assembly, laser welding, clamping fixtures, precision dispensing systems for thermal interface materials (TIM) as well as comprehensive test and validation processes such as leak testing, helium mass spectrometry and hi-pot testing. In addition, the company offers digitalization solutions with digital twin technology, process simulation and virtual commissioning as well as lifecycle services from commissioning to modernization. Customers come from the automotive industry, the energy sector, nuclear power, aerospace as well as consumer goods and industrial manufacturing. The company serves customers worldwide from strategically located sites in Canada, the USA and Europe.
