Executive Q&A: North American Manufacturing, Global Reach

Patricia Gair, Executive Vice President, Novra Group

We sat down with Patricia Gair, Executive Vice President of Novra Group, to discuss our manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. and Canada—and how that flexibility helps us serve customers worldwide amid changing trade conditions.

What does Novra Group's manufacturing footprint look like?

Novra Group serves customers worldwide through manufacturing operations in Canada and the United States. These complementary capabilities are part of an integrated North American organization, supported by our experienced teams in engineering, production, quality, and service.

Why is North American manufacturing important to Novra Group?

Manufacturing in Canada and the United States helps us stay close to our operations and gives our teams the flexibility to coordinate engineering, production, service, and support for customers around the world.

What does this mean in practical terms for customers?

It means responsive support, greater operational flexibility, and an organization that can adapt quickly as customer requirements, logistics, and market conditions evolve. Our goal is to support customers for the long term by providing continuity for the systems and services they rely on.

How does this footprint support resilience in a changing global environment?

Trade and supply conditions can change quickly. Our approach is practical: maintain manufacturing capability in both countries, work closely with supply partners, manage inventory carefully, and remain flexible in supporting customer needs. This approach gives us more options to help customers meet procurement and budget requirements as tariffs, logistics, and sourcing conditions evolve. These measures can help manage costs and mitigate risk.

What is Novra Group's long-term commitment to customers?

We will continue investing in the people, capabilities, and relationships needed to design, manufacture, and support reliable communications technology. Our Canadian and U.S. operations are complementary strengths that help us serve customers worldwide today and prepare for their needs tomorrow.
