Who We Are

Over 45 Years of Machining Excellence

From a small Montréal workshop to a trusted North American precision tooling partner — built on expertise, trust, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

Our Story

Where It All
Began

In 1979, two visionaries — André Barrette and Vicentino Di Sano — founded Avitec Tools in a modest facility on 4th Avenue in Rivière-des-Prairies, Montréal. Their shared conviction was simple but powerful: that precision, craftsmanship, and integrity could build lasting partnerships with the most demanding clients in aerospace and industry.

From those early days in a small workshop, the company steadily grew — relocating to St-Léonard, then building a dedicated 10,000 sq. ft. factory on Armand-Bombardier. With every decade came new capabilities: CNC machining in the 1990s, ISO 9001 in 2006, AS9100 accreditation in 2009, and a landmark expansion into the US market in 2015.

Today, Avitec Tools stands as a trusted North American partner for Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace clients — a testament to more than four decades of precision, persistence, and passion.
