M1 Composites Technology attains Mach 5
February 27, 2021 - Canada
M1 Composites Technology, a Transport Canada Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO), has attained Mach 5, the highest level of the MACH initiative. The achievement brings real benefits for M1 Composites customers and demonstrates M1's ability to quickly develop new capabilities, maintain high quality standards, improved processes, and fast turnaround times.
The AeroMontreal Mach Initiative is an aerospace supplier development programme, designed to promote collaboration and innovation within the supply chain and improve performance and competitiveness of suppliers. The Mach Excellence Framework is a common methodological approach that was developed to improve the mastery of key business processes at suppliers, in order to achieve excellence in terms of leadership, operational excellence, excellence in workforce planning and development.
M1 Composites becomes the second company to reach Mach 5, but above all, the first independent Canadian Small/Medium Enterprise (SME). In a span of less than 8 years, M1 has transitioned through the Mach Programme, going from Mach 2 to the highest level, Mach 5. M1 was able to quickly achieve Mach 5 due to Air Canada's mentorship. Calin Rovinescu's vision and leadership, along with Richard Steer, Michael Rousseau, and the management team at Air Canada, helped achieve what no other Canadian SME has.

Having the flexibility to quickly become a strategic supplier, while maintaining international standards of quality, continuous improvement and service is the key to our success. Mach 5 solidifies our base for continued growth," said Lorenzo Marandola, president – M1 Composites.
