OUR STAFF
David Elhard, President/Founder
 Dave Elhard received his Electronic Engineering Technology diploma from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in 1987 and graduated with honours. After completing his formal education he started work with Q-Tron Ltd., a manufacturer of locomotive monitoring and control equipment where he gained 13 years of electronic manufacturing and management experience. While at Q-Tron he served as Production Manager as well as Engineering Manager. Mr. Elhard joined Turnkey Solutions/Electromec in 2000 when it was still a small company of about 10 people and contributed to its significant growth to over 120 people through his involvement with personnel, manufacturing, purchasing and quality improvement. During his time at Turnkey/Electromec he served as General Manager, VP of Purchasing/Planning, VP of Manufacturing and VP of Engineering. In June of 2004 he left Electromec to start IMS, Innovative Manufacturing Source Inc. after seeing a need for a new alternative in Contract Manufacturing in Western Canada. Since starting IMS he has built a tremendous team and experienced growth in terms of customers, sales and equipment far beyond his expectations.
The IMS Difference
IMS sets itself apart from its competition through the level of quality and service we deliver. This difference is a direct result of the staff at IMS and their commitment to providing our customers with products we can all be proud of. This attitude combined with the experience they bring, results in a combination that leaves our customers satisfied. IMS does not claim to be be perfect but one thing we do claim and will always follow through on, is the way we deal with issues. We take great strides to ensure your product is built as specified but when an error occurs on your product, we do not finger point or avoid taking responsibility, our focus is on your satisfaction and ultimately your customer's satisfaction. Every company will make mistakes but what sets them apart is the way they respond to them, IMS will always stand behind its product.
We offer full procurement for some products/customers, often for marginally more or sometimes less than your current costs of procurement. Our veteran purchasing and material handling staff coupled with a full MRP system and vendor managed inventory, will do an excellent job of managing material for you.
