Our Story
Motion Control Made In Canada
Some things are worth building close to home. In 2018, Progressive Automations brought design and assembly in-house — right here in Metro Vancouver, BC. It was a commitment to full accountability, tighter quality control, and faster delivery for our customers.
Our Made-in-Canada electric linear actuators and control systems are developed by our in-house R&D team, built locally using carefully selected international components, and tested before they ship. Over 15 years of motion control expertise. Built in Canada. Trusted in 50+ countries worldwide.
Complete Design Ownership
Every schematic and spec developed in-house by our Metro Vancouver engineering team — no outsourcing, full accountability.
Faster Prototyping & Custom Solutions
Local engineering means faster turnaround on custom electric linear actuators — from concept to your door.
Improved Quality Assurance
End-to-end control from design to final QA — every unit tested to consistent standards before it ships.
Reliable Product Availability
Canadian inventory backed by strong supplier relationships — consistent stock on electric linear actuators and control systems.
R&D + Engineering
Where Precision Begins
Our Metro Vancouver engineering team works hands-on — from schematic design to physical prototyping and testing. When you order a custom electric linear actuator or control system, our engineers are already working on it, not waiting for specs to cross an ocean.
That proximity between design, testing, and assembly is what makes the difference. Every Canadian-made PA product reflects the decisions of engineers who understand how it will be used in the real world.

Frequently asked questions
Our Canadian-made electric linear actuators and actuator control systems are designed and assembled in-house at our Metro Vancouver facility, giving us end-to-end control over engineering, quality assurance, and fulfillment. Both lines are tested and backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified QMS — but the Canadian-made line reflects our highest level of in-house design ownership and local assembly accountability.
es — all PA products, including our Canadian-made electric linear actuators and linear actuator control boxes, are covered by our standard warranty. You can also purchase additional warranty on the warranty page. If you experience any issues, our support team is based in Metro Vancouver and available to help.
Not every product in our catalog is made in Canada — but our Canadian-made line is different. These electric linear actuators and control systems are designed by our in-house R&D team in Metro Vancouver, assembled locally using carefully selected international components, and tested against real operating conditions before they ship. Every critical decision — from engineering to quality control — is made by our team here in Canada.
Our Canadian-made lineup includes select electric linear actuators and actuator control systems, including the PA-CB series of linear actuator control boxes. These products are designed and assembled in Metro Vancouver and backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System.
Yes — we ship electric linear actuators and control systems to 50+ countries worldwide. Whether you're in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, or beyond, our Canadian-made products are available with reliable fulfillment and consistent lead times.
It depends on how many actuators you need to control and your power requirements. The PA-CB2 is ideal for micro actuator applications, the PA-CB30 and PA-CB31 are designed for single-channel actuator control, and the PA-CB40 and PA-CB41 handle synchronized dual or four-channel linear actuator control. Our team is happy to help you choose the right actuator controller — contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
