History

Initially known as Royal Laser Tech Corporation with only a few employees, the company formed under the Business Corporations Act in 1998 as a laser trimming metallic company for store fixtures and fabrications. Martinrea did not become an automotive company until 2001 when founder Rob Wildeboer and two co-founders Fred Jaekel, President of Cosma, and Nick Orlando, Vice President of Cosma finance established the company.[3] In April of 2002, Martinrea purchased Rea International, a fluid system business, and automatically became a tier one supplier for General Motors. In June of 2002, the company officially changed their name to Martinrea International Inc.[4]

In March 2020, Martinrea International Inc. announced the acquisition of the Structural Components for Passenger Cars operations of Metalsa S.A. de C.V.[5]

gollark: Hold on while I look up fractal dimensions.
gollark: I guess it might not be considered one because it may not have a finite bounding box? Hm.
