InnovMetric

The story of InnovMetric is a journey of technological innovation and a deep-seated passion for 3D measurement. What began in 1994 as a promising software development firm in Quebec City, Canada, founded by Marc Soucy and Esther Bouliane, has blossomed into a global powerhouse. The company's trajectory was set by its early and groundbreaking work in point-cloud-based inspection, a development that would revolutionize the manufacturing industry. This pioneering spirit led to the invention of the universal 3D metrology software platform, a concept that has become an industry standard. The early 2000s marked a significant turning point with the first release of PolyWorks|Inspector™, a solution that would come to be trusted by the world's largest industrial manufacturing organizations. The company's growth was not just technological but also geographical. The establishment of its first subsidiary, PolyWorks USA, in 2005 was a clear signal of its international ambitions. By 2010, five major automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) were each utilizing over 100 of the company's licenses, a testament to the software's impact and reliability.

InnovMetric's journey has been one of consistent growth and reaching significant milestones. The sale of the 10,000th PolyWorks license in 2012 was a major achievement, followed by the 20,000th in 2017, 30,000th in 2020, and an impressive 40,000th license in 2023. This remarkable expansion is a direct result of the company's unwavering commitment to its clients and its continuous innovation. Today, InnovMetric stands as a multinational corporation with a direct presence in 18 countries and a dedicated team of over 650 professionals. Its flagship product, the PolyWorks® smart 3D metrology software solutions, are at the heart of the manufacturing processes of industry giants in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer products sectors. The company's success is built on its ability to empower these organizations to maximize the benefits of 3D measurement technologies, ensuring product quality, and streamlining engineering and manufacturing applications. From its headquarters in Quebec City, InnovMetric continues to shape the future of 3D metrology, driven by the same passion and ingenuity that sparked its creation over three decades ago.
