Innovation is a competitive advantage in modern manufacturing — but only when new ideas can be built, tested, refined, and deployed in real industrial environments. Developing new machinery, improving production technology, or advancing automation systems requires more than engineering theory. It requires hands-on millwright expertise, precision fabrication, and real-world problem-solving.
C2 Millwright and Machining Inc. provides professional industrial research and development (R&D) support for new machinery and industrial technology across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and all of Ontario. We help manufacturers, engineers, and operations teams turn concepts into functional, testable, production-ready equipment.
Based in Brampton, Ontario, and operated by licensed millwrights with over 20 years of hands-on industrial experience, C2 has supported R&D initiatives for global organizations including Mondelez, Nestlé, General Mills, UPS, and FedEx. Our approach bridges the gap between design intent and operational reality.

Industrial R&D is not just about innovation — it’s about execution under real operating conditions. Many R&D projects fail or stall because designs look good on paper but break down when exposed to load, vibration, heat, contamination, and continuous production cycles.
C2’s industrial R&D services across Ontario help:
Millwright involvement ensures designs are buildable, serviceable, and durable — not just theoretically sound.
Successful R&D doesn’t stop at invention. It focuses on:
C2 approaches R&D with a production-first mindset, ensuring new machinery and technology are:
The result is innovation that survives real-world use.
C2 supports the mechanical development of new machinery, working from:
We fabricate, assemble, and refine functional machinery with direct millwright oversight.
Our team supports hands-on testing, mechanical adjustments, alignment, reinforcement, and design refinement to improve:
Schedules are designed to align with production — not disrupt it.
Once a design is validated, C2 supports the transition to production-ready builds, ensuring:
This prevents breakdowns before they escalate.
We support R&D focused on:
This prevents breakdowns before they escalate.
Using in-house machining, welding, and fabrication, we build R&D prototypes quickly and accurately — enabling faster testing and iteration without relying on multiple external vendors.
C2 is trusted across Ontario for industrial R&D because we build what we help design.

Shelby OpdyckeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with C2 Millwright for their fabrication welding services, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was incredibly professional, efficient, and clearly highly skilled in their craft. They designed and build Custome racks for my horse trailer. From start to finish, the process was smooth, and the quality of the final product exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch work truly stood out. I highly recommend C2 Millwright to anyone looking for reliable and expert fabrication welding services – they definitely deserve 5 stars!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 1 reviews
Industrial R&D costs vary based on:
Partnering with an experienced millwright team reduces costly redesigns, delays, and failures later in the project lifecycle.
