All Partners
We engage with great partners so we can create great solutions. Turning ideas into innovative solutions takes collaboration. That’s why we work closely with research centers, universities, community groups, industry associations, certification and standards organizations, as well as other companies.
Bayern Innovativ
Through our DSG-Canusa team, we are engaged in the work of Bayern Innovativ, a network of Bavarian automotive manufacturers and suppliers. The main goal of this network of companies and scientific research institutes is to exchange information and ideas to develop implement solutions that meet the challenges of emerging trends. We are currently members of a working group focused on automotive wiring components (splices) related to functional safety metrics.

University of Alberta
We work closely with a team at the University of Alberta that specializes in prototyping and testing composites, both reinforced thermoplastic and thermosets. This partnership provides our Flexpipe engineers a greater understanding of the fundamental behavior and limitations of these materials. It also helps in our work to develop the next generation of composite products.
University of Toronto
In our continuing efforts to address the environmental damage caused by hydrocarbon leaks in oil and gas conveyance infrastructure systems, our DSG-Canusa and Shawflex teams are involved in a joint research program with the University of Toronto Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and Mitacs.
