UPDATE
On March 23, 2020, The Government of Quebec announced new measures in order to control the Coronavirus (Covid-19) spread in the Province: non-essential businesses will be closed from March 25, 2020, to April 13, 2020, inclusive.
As a Quebec-based company, AV&R is concerned by these measures:
• AV&R slows down its activities but remains open. Part of our activities are related to the military sector, considered as an essential service. However, we will continue our activities with a reduced number of employees on our premises in order to respect the recommended social distancing.
• Our teleworking activities are also maintained. Our sales, research and development and technical support teams are still active and available to answer remotely.
In this rapidly evolving context, we will keep you informed of any changes regarding our activities during the next weeks.

Covid-19 – AV&R continuing its activities while taking precautionary measures
Various government measures have been taken around the world to stem the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). As an international company, AV&R is directly affected by these measures, including travel restrictions. Despite this situation, we would like to inform you that our activities are continuing and that our work with our clients and partners remain our priority.
We continue to support our clients by providing remote service
With our robotic systems installed in 16 countries across 3 continents (North America, Europe and Asia), technical support at all times and under all circumstances has always been an important part of the service offered to our clients. Note that the connectivity of our robotic systems, in particular via our BrainWave software, allows us to assist you remotely without having to send an AV&R employee to your plant. Whether you are experiencing a technical problem, want to create a recipe for a new part, or for any questions, AV&R is there to answer and support you.
