Welcome to Thales Canada’s website.
We are one of the country’s leading technology companies, with important work in three of the company’s core, global markets - aerospace, defence and transportation.
Looking around our website, you’ll see that our expertise covers the entire value chain. Research and development is what this company is about, and we build on that to create, manufacture and support a wide range of products.
Thales is a global company, and here in Canada we derive enormous value from our international business. Around 68,000 people working in over 50 countries means we can call on a vast array of innovative products from abroad and adapt them to local needs.
In the past 28 years through organic growth and acquisitions, Thales has grown in Canada from 2 to 1,400 employees, with over $500 million CAD in sales, and an average annual growth of 20% since 2004. Through our three worldwide centres of excellence and our other offices across the country, Thales Canada is delivering urban rail signalling systems, aviation fly-by-wire solutions, night vision and optronic equipment, military command, control, communications and computer-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems to our customers here in Canada and around the world.
Our continued success in Canada will be sustained by our employees and by the Thales Group’s worldwide commitment to a multi-domestic strategy. As the country director for Thales in Canada, I’m very proud to say that the capabilities, professionalism and commitment to exceeding customer expectations among our people are second to none worldwide.
