"On behalf of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, we would like to congratulate Elliott Matsuura Canada Inc. on its 60th anniversary," the letter states.

"By believing that the success of your customers is the key to your growth, prosperity and longevity in the industry, you have served the industry well," it states elsewhere. "This philosophy has secured your status as a market leader as well as a key partner to industry organizations and groups like SME, CMTDA and others."
