Corporate Sponsorship

An Overview of the Ottawa Manufacturers’ Network

The Ottawa Manufacturers’ Network was established in 1991 and has a mission to stimulate continuous improvement, innovation and quality in manufacturing through shared knowledge and resources.


The OMN promotes a networking environment for knowledge and resource sharing among local manufacturing and related organizations, including educational institutes.

This environment encourages the:

  • Exchange and implementation of best practices with respect to continuous improvement, lean enterprises, competitiveness and quality.
  • Recognition and promotion of the manufacturing sector and technology innovation as a critical economic activity in Ottawa and surrounding areas.
  • Collective development and offering of programs and services not cost-attainable by individual organizations.

The National Capital Region is occupied by approximately 700 manufacturers in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, which employ about 41,000 people.  Although Ottawa is predominantly recognized as a Government town with a high-tech hub, there are numerous other companies producing unique and interesting products that often surface globally such as recreational vehicles, aircraft, DNA collection devices, specialty garments, nuclear medical equipment, hardened computing platforms, solar energy management products, and building materials and products, among others.


The OMN has approximately 112 members, who participate in monthly events, networking opportunities, training sessions, workshops and other meetings on a wide variety of manufacturing-related topics.  Members and other interested individuals stay informed of OMN activities through the Web site, monthly newsletters and event notices.
