Production Process Engineer/account manager

Shimifrez is built on the principles of making quality precision metal fabrication products and providing reliable Photo Chemical Etching and Elecroforming services in Canada and internationally. Photochemical machining (PCM), also known as photo etching, photo fabrication or photochemical milling, is a non-traditional micro fabrication/ manufacturing method based on the combination of photo-resist imaging and chemical etching. Our diversified product range continues to grow by following trends, improving our standard products, and listening to the customer.
