Paul Ghotra, Founder & CEO of CIMtech Mfg Inc., has been making headlines for his remarkable contributions to the industry. With years of experience in manufacturing, Paul has established himself as a thought leader and influencer in the field. He has been recognized for his innovative ideas, exceptional leadership, and ability to drive growth and profitability for the organizations he works with. Paul’s extensive knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in shaping the future of manufacturing, and his insights and strategies have helped numerous companies achieve unparalleled success.

In 1988, Paul moved to Vancouver, Canada, where he began working as a manufacturing engineer for one of the top high-tech firms in British Columbia, Canada. His involvement in a start-up company that expanded from 10 to 5000 employees over the course of 15 years enabled him to develop a profound grasp of how to optimize manufacturing cost reduction early in the design process. This experience has enhanced his passion for growing his own business and pushing through obstacles.

During his childhood, his father had a great desire to educate him to become a pioneer in the engineering field. His father passed away when he was a young boy. Since then, he made it his lifelong mission to pursue this profession to fulfill his father’s passion for engineering. Paul was trained in one of the top technical institutes in precision mechanics, instrumentation, and manufacturing engineering.

Paul, who by now had championed the use of renewable energy, hydrogen, and fuel cell stood up to the challenge and founded his global pioneering company in 2006 – CIMtech Mfg., a Canada-based Hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturer with supply chain and multi-plant facilities in North America and Asia. When Paul started CIMtech two decades ago he has been instrumental in guiding engineers in high-technology companies on DFM processes. The objective is to design economically. Because cost is driven by time, the design must minimize not only the time required to manufacture but also optimize development time to reduce time to market.

Paul’s manufacturing expertise helped guide engineers in high-technology companies to optimize part design for manufacturing. Over his 30 years carrier, Paul has been part of many new development cycles assisting companies to develop innovative products cost-effectively.

Paul’s reputation has been drawing global attention throughout space. It has allowed him to become the recipient of several noteworthy awards and recognitions. The list of received awards for Paul is as follows-
