Company profile

More than 25 years ago, our company started humbly in a small facility no larger than a four-bay mechanic's garage. Driven by an unwavering commitment to precision, we crafted flexible braided connectors of exceptional quality, earning us a reputation for excellence in Canada. Today, we are headquartered in a state-of-the-art facility just one hour southwest of Montreal, Canada, marking our transformation into a world-class manufacturer. 

When Kevin Healy and Toan Tran acquired the company in 2010, their complementary strengths and expertise set us on a path to global expansion. With a commitment to continuous improvement and substantial ongoing investments in R&D, we focused on modernizing our processes and equipment, paving the way for entry into markets across Europe, North and South America, and Australia. 

The annual Desjardins Entrepreneur Awards celebrate exceptional Quebec entrepreneurs for their achievements, financial performance, and community contributions. 

On October 14, 2015, Exel was honored to be named the National Winner in the Innovation and Productivity category at the Awards Gala in Montreal, Canada. 

To ensure flawless product quality and responsive customer service, we restructured our operations based on lean manufacturing principles. In response to customer challenges and competitive pressures, we developed innovative proprietary manufacturing technology. 

Transitioning to a fully digital manufacturing platform allowed us to achieve ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, resulting in a tenfold increase in sales. Additionally, in 2018, we strategically acquired an electroplating firm to enhance our competitive pricing and expand our product offerings for customers.
