Manufacturing equipment includes CNC guided Router Tables, High Pressure Water-Jets, Reciprocating and Drag Knife Flash-Cut machines, Trumpf Turret presses as well as automated high-speed die presses.

Design, fabrication and commercial supply is not the end of the services offered, Artik/OEM also is capable to support and co-ordinate technical services required to support the intend use of the products supplied through our company. These services may include acoustical testing and flame and smoke compliance testing which is performed in conjunction with our network of technical partners and accredited testing labs.

With equally equipped and capable fabrication facilities located both in the United States and Canada, Artik/OEM is capable to provide final products with full compliance to both the BAA (Buy America Act) in the USA as well as the same mandated for vehicles produced in Canada – an important issue for OEM transit builders.
