Omni Graphics Ltd. is one of Canada's premier quick turn and prototyping circuit board facilities. Since incorporating in 1985, Omni has consistently lead the local market in new developments and services. Printed Circuit Board manufacturers typically were offering completion of orders within a 4 to 6 week time frame. Omni Graphics made a commitment to offer much quicker and more flexible delivery schedules. This service has brought about a partnership with the industry that it has relied upon to rapidly develop today's newest technologies.
President Jac Kroeker has set very demanding goals for Omni Graphics. His aim is to provide the highest standards of precision engineering, quality control and technical support while focusing on the demanding areas of prototyping and short run production orders. For large production orders, beyond the scope of Omni's manufacturing facility, we have established good relationship's with several offshore suppliers.
Omni has an effective metals recovery program in place. From the beginning of operations, management at Omni decided that consideration for the environment would not be compromised for the success of the business. This has actually turned into a money saving venture. By mixing one environmentally damaging chemistry with another, they neutralize each other. Saving us the cost of treating each chemistry separately.
Omni has worked for clients in Japan, Peru, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Russia and Hong Kong as well as across Canada and the United States. Universities around the globe are using Omni Graphics for their R&D projects.
Some of the highlights over the years include:
