GTMA Case Studies

In 2007, the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance commissioned DIAC to undertake a case study research project exploring the design dimension in advanced manufacturing companies in the Greater Toronto Area. DIAC focused its research on three companies, Umbra, D&V Electronics and Zenon Membrane Solutions, now part of GE Water and Process Technologies. Each of these companies is a global leader in its industry sector and each of them has worked with local designers to add value to product, process and marketing strategy.
