QUI SOMMES-NOUS?

CAD Industries ferroviaires est une société québécoise ambitieuse, en activités depuis plus de 60 ans, spécialisée dans la réparation, la conversion et le reconditionnement d’équipements ferroviaires roulant (wagons et locomotives en tous genres) qui avons des ateliers et bureaux à Montréal (secteur Lachine) et en Alberta (sous la bannière Caltrax).
Au fil des ans, notre mission s’est précisée afin de devenir une entreprise responsable qui cherche notamment à réparer et prolonger la vie des équipements dont nos clients nous confient les travaux ou encore, dans plusieurs situations, de les moderniser et leur donner littéralement une 2ème vie.
