Enginuity Inc.

Before Enginuity could help other companies build for the future, it had to build its own capacity.

In 2019, Enginuity had 12 employees working out of a small house in Halifax. Its team was strong in mechanical engineering, but lacked a machine shop and had limited 3D printing and automation capabilities. It relied on outside suppliers and worked mainly with regional clients.

With support from ACOA, Enginuity invested in advanced manufacturing and prototyping equipment, added specialized talent and took on more complex work.

As of October 2026, Enginuity has more than 50 employees, its annual revenue has more than quadrupled and its facility has grown tenfold. At its Spryfield location, the team can take a product from concept through design, prototyping, testing and manufacturing.

Enginuity’s own growth is only part of the story.

“We have been the quiet technical strength behind many companies, including dozens of Atlantic Canadian success stories,” said founder and CEO Ben Garvey.

Enginuity has helped regional food processors automate labour-intensive work and startups develop ocean carbon removal systems. The team has built space propulsion components, engineered equipment for harsh environments and supported defence technology.

For many Atlantic Canadian companies, work that once required suppliers from Germany, Chicago and elsewhere can now be done here.

“Our aim is to lower the entry requirements for access to engineering and design,” says Rhodri Armour, program manager at Enginuity.

The impact continues to spread. The company regularly recruits local co-op students, young engineers and technologists who then gain globally relevant experience.

Investment in Enginuity has created capacity that many companies can use, supporting productivity, skilled jobs, stronger supply chains and growth in key sectors.

Looking ahead, Enginuity sees opportunities in autonomous vehicles, robotics, marine launch and retrieval systems and medical and biotechnology products.

What Enginuity helps companies build here at home promises to create ripples around the world.

“We intend to remain based in Atlantic Canada, with no limit to our potential impact here or elsewhere,” says Garvey.
