Company Description

Vention helps some of the most innovative manufacturing companies automate their production floor in just a few days. Vention's online-first manufacturing automation platform (MAP) enables its clients to design, automate, order, and deploy manufacturing equipment directly from their web browser.

Vention is headquartered in Montreal, Canada, with offices in Berlin and Boston, and is used in over 3,000 factories on 5 continents.

As one of Canada’s Most Admired Cultures and Great Place to Work, we are a performance‑driven culture that cares deeply about happiness. We like ambitious goals, facts & data, and constructive debates. But at the same time, we know that we can’t repeatedly push ourselves if we are not surrounded by an uplifting and caring work environment. Those two sides of our culture feed each other and are safeguarded with the same level of attention. Our values & principles include :

  • We make our clients successful – we do what’s right for our customers, even when it makes our roles more challenging.
  • We execute and deliver – we set ambitious goals for ourselves and are energized about meeting them.
  • We debate, then commit – we challenge our own perspectives and ideas in pursuit of the best solutions.
  • We innovate to inspire – we value innovation in products, user experiences, and business practices.
  • We collaborate to achieve more – we work as one team to achieve more than we would on our own.
  • We empower our people to reach their full potential – we hold ourselves to high standards but know when to celebrate progress & achievements.
