2024年4月26日 - 11:00PM
via NewMediaWire -- Yesterday, Thursday, April 25th,
marked a significant milestone for Protocase Inc., the leader
in North American rapid manufacturing innovation and prototyping,
as the company proudly welcomed the Honourable Pierre Poilievre,
leader of the Official Opposition of Canada and the Conservative
Party of Canada, for an exclusive site tour of its primary
manufacturing facility. The visit was part of Poilievre’s ongoing
Atlantic Canada tour, demonstrating his commitment to engaging with
businesses and communities across the region.
Accompanied by MP Rick Perkins, who represents
South Shore-St. Margarets, Poilievre was given a firsthand look at
Protocase's advanced manufacturing processes, including sheet-metal
bending and fastening. As he interacted with Protocase's robust
workforce of over 390 employees, Poilievre gained insights into the
company's innovative approach to “mass custom” manufacturing.
Steve Lilley, President and CEO of Protocase Inc.,
expressed his enthusiasm for Poilievre's visit, stating, “Pierre
Poilievre aligns with my beliefs in all Canadians’ right to free
speech. We are thrilled to have welcomed him to our facilities for
a site visit and to learn about how we serve clients in technology
and innovation all over the world.”
During the tour, Protocase staff presented
Poilievre with a custom machined apple, a nod to a memorable moment
in October 2023 when Poilievre made headlines for eating an apple
during an exchange with a reporter in an apple orchard in British
Columbia’s Okanagan Valley.
Dr. Doug Milburn, Vice-President and Chairman of
Protocase Inc., emphasized the significance of Poilievre’s visit,
stating, “It’s an honour to have Pierre Poilievre make a stop at
Protocase during his tour. We have been proudly headquartered in
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia since we started more than 20 years ago.
Today, we are one of Atlantic Canada’s foremost high-growth tech
companies, employing 400 at present. Any day we get to showcase how
we are a world leader in mass customization is a good day.”
