Manufacturing and industriesIndustries and manufacturing are essential to the health, nutrition and daily needs of communities and urban centres. The products we buy every day in grocery, department and hardware stores all come from these industries. Today, more than ever, we need strong local industries to reduce our dependence on international trade, and face challenges associated with the energy transition, labour shortage, and difficulty procuring materials or raw materials.
Integrated services for your industry
Plant operators face many challenges. Labour shortages are compelling them to automate their production lines and integrate new technology. They need to choose the right equipment for their needs, and make sure they get a solid return on their investment.
The cost of energy and the incentives to decarbonize is prompting industries to turn to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. At the same time, climate change requires them to implement loss recovery measures, such as heating their buildings with the heat generated by their heavy equipment.
Since every minute of downtime represents lost production, ingenuity is the key to getting as much done as possible in scheduled timeframes for retrofits and maintenance projects.
Dealing with current complexities in securing procurement requires closer collaboration with suppliers.
Lastly, the sound management of assets and risks is a must, in order to extend the life of production equipment until it is no longer profitable. Every plant needs a good asset maintenance and replacement plan, i.e. one that is as cost-effective as efficient. Improvements and capacity increases must be carried out within existing facilities, often generating significant competitive advantages.
At CIMA+, we provide integrated services (mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil engineering solutions) for battery manufacturing and recycling, wood processing, cement plant optimization, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and other manufacturing plants.
- A one-stop-shop for every discipline (conventional and niche) and all services.
- A pool of qualified and agile resources to manage and deliver projects, small to large.
- One firm and one contact to handle all services.
- We deliver what our clients need most:
- Fast response times | We offer remote and on-site emergency assistance.
- Cost-effective solutions | Our designs are simple, cost-effective, and adapted to the requirements of daily operations.
- Proactive approach | We provide you with actionable solutions tailored to your specific needs.
We understand that production interruptions caused by a new design can quickly affect your project's capital costs and anticipated profits. That's why our teams consider your operational needs, the constructability of their designs, potential operational conflicts during the rollout, and the impact of commissioning on the site.
Our proven experience in maintenance, operations and reliability is based largely based on our significant track record of projects directly delivered on the site. With our integrated teams on site, we can easily manage the progress of your projects based on your investments and site constraints.
CIMA+ can handle all or part of your project:
- Feasibility and constructability studies
- Preliminary and detailed engineering
- Procurement
- Construction management
- Contractor selection
- Site supervision
- Pre-operational verification (POV)
- Staff training
- Commissioning
- Project management

Our specialized services
Find out how our teams of experts can meet your specific needs and work with you every step of the way on your projects.
CIMA+ draws on its technical expertise and deep knowledge of the agri-food sector to support companies involved in the processing, handling, packaging and storage of food products. In these environments — where operational continuity, safety and efficiency are critical — our mechanical, electrical and structural engineering teams are involved at every stage of a project, from feasibility studies to commissioning.
We design and modernize facilities for the processing, handling and storage of various agri-food products, including grains, oilseeds, vegetables, fodder or specialized ingredients. Our teams also upgrade electrical and control systems in classified areas when required, and conduct energy audits to support process optimization, cost reduction and compliance with current health and regulatory standards.
Our multidisciplinary teams have delivered projects such as dust removal and ventilation systems adapted to agri-food processes, upgrades to cleaning, transport, and packaging equipment, and the structural refurbishment of industrial facilities to extend their useful life.
Through an integrated approach focused on innovation and technical rigour, CIMA+ helps improve the performance, reliability and safety of operations across all segments of Canada’s agri-food industry.
CIMA+ is a trusted engineering partner for the design, integration, and optimization of bulk material handling systems across the mining, cement, and heavy industrial sectors. From mine to port, our multidisciplinary teams support every stage of the material flow—from extraction and processing to transport, loading, and delivery.
We work on both greenfield projects and brownfield upgrades and expansions, always with a focus on performance, safety, and long-term maintainability—even in the most complex industrial environments.
Smart design for challenging operating environments
CIMA+ provides fully integrated engineering services for:
- Conveyor systems and transfer stations
- Silos, hoppers, chutes, and loading pockets
- Pneumatic and mechanical conveying systems (belt, air slide, dense phase, etc.)
- Material flow optimization and equipment layout planning
- Structural, mechanical, electrical, and control systems integration
- PLC programming, automation, and system interoperability
- Dust collection and emission control systems
Our designs ensure full compatibility between equipment, control systems, and existing infrastructure, even in space-constrained or aging facilities.
Responsive delivery in time-critical or live-operation settings
Our teams are known for delivering results in urgent or operationally sensitive environments. We regularly intervene during planned shutdowns or while facilities remain in operation to:
- Coordinate fast-tracked, multidisciplinary work scopes
- Sequence execution to reduce risk and maximize uptime
- Simulate system performance before commissioning
We also provide technical oversight of equipment suppliers—from writing specifications to validating equipment integration and performance on site.
Proven experience across a wide range of facilities
We bring real-world expertise to a variety of industrial settings:
- Underground and open-pit mines
- Mineral and ore processing plants
- Marine terminals (bulk, cement, clinker)
- Cement production and distribution facilities
- Truck and railcar loading/unloading systems
