Hazardous Material
All hazardous material and supplies are properly identified, tracked, stored and monitored in designated locations in our facility. Our Kanban and Just-in-time supply chain management system allows for material cycle time to be reduced so that waste is minimized. We work closely with waste disposal vendors to ensure that hazardous material is disposed of properly.
Education is one of the most powerful drivers of progress. Committed to inspire the next generation’s interest in aerospace and developing a pipeline of young talent for the aviation industry, M1 Composites partners with local and North American Schools (College, Universities and Trade schools) and with Aviation Organizations (Aéro Montréal, Canadian Council of Aviation & Aerospace, Air Transport Association of Canada). We also schedule student visits at our facility, to encourage graduates to work in the aerospace industry and to attract more students to aviation and aerospace programs.
M1 Composites is proud to invest in future engineers. We offer internships and we help future engineers in their projects (Rocket, Drones and Racing Car) by using our equipment, expertise and coaching. In addition, we provide parts that we are no longer using as well as expired materials to local schools, ultimately reducing unnecessary waste.
Furthermore, we support and provide contribution to the Fondation Du Cégep Édouard-Montpetit.
At M1 Composites, we fully commit to providing a healthy, safe environment for our employees as well as for our community. Employees work in a welcoming, hazard-free environment as M1 Composites prioritizes employee safety and security in their day-to-day operations.
M1 Composites offers some extra-curricular physical activities. During the warmer months, M1 has an organized softball team as well as weekly friendly soccer games open to all employees.
