Innovative Automation History

1989

Innovative Automation is founded by Stephen Loftus, Jim Carnegie and Paul Tyndall. Currently, Stephen sits as CEO, with Michael Lalonde as President.

2018

The R&D team at Innovative Automation develops RoboTape, a turn-key comprehensive system for feeding and installing adhesive-backed foams, felts and attachment tapes. Since then, RoboTape has branched off into its own business unit, now located in the Newmarket location.

2022

Innovative Automation acquires MecSmart and its subsidiary MSI Pulp Moulding. MecSmart specializes in technology-based automation systems and products for industrial sectors. This expansion enabled the relocation of the RoboTape division and expanded the range of projects we’re able to take on.
