TOPIC: Transformix Engineering – International Success Story (and another of Kingston’s best kept secrets)

Peng-Sang Cau is an immigrant success story. In 1980, she escaped with her parents from Cambodia to Canada, settling in Regina. She studied marketing and business at Queen’s University. After graduating, she stayed in Kingston and set up a small consulting firm, Transformix Engineering, with three fellow graduates.

The company has grown dramatically since 1995 into a mid-sized manufacturing company, based in Kingston. It now has annual revenue in the $10-million range, and more than 50 employees. It makes highly automated machinery that allows its customers to assemble plastic parts – ranging from small medical devices to sunscreen pumps – at incredible speed. Most of its customers are outside Canada.
