From automation to 3D metal printing

At Samuel Automation, we love helping our people grow their careers and welcome the opportunity to help students get real-life experience during their studies, with many coming back to join us full-time after graduation. One of our valued school partnerships is with the University of Waterloo and we were thrilled to have them recognize us as a top co-op employer. 

The team at Samuel Automation was excited to welcome Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, Stephen Crawford, MPP Brian Riddell and Vice President, Ontario Government Relations and Member Advocacy, Vincent Caron to our facility in Waterloo, ON to discuss Canadian-made automation solutions, including our custom systems and AMRs. 

At Samuel, we’re committed to helping students gain the hands-on experience and real-world skills needed for a successful career in manufacturing – and we do that in a variety of ways, including donating steel for students to use in trades projects at Oconto Falls High School in Marinette, WI.

We believe in the power of giving back, whether that’s through Samuel Communities, our team member-driven donation program, or by supporting external efforts like Renewed Computer Technology (RCT) Ontario. RCT is a charitable organization that refurbishes and donates technology to those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to it. 

Giving back to the communities where we live and work is an important part of our culture at Samuel, and the cornerstone of Samuel Communities, our employee-driven donation program that allows team members to nominate causes close to their hearts for financial support from our company.
