The Team

Built by engineers
for fabricators.

A small, technical founding team with direct access to estimators, real fabrication drawings and the workflows Tonnexis is built to replace.

Tonnexis is built across Canada and the UAE, with a founding team operating in both markets. From Canada, we work closely with North American fabricators, while our UAE operations support customers and pilot partners across the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
