Brave Control Solutions, a Canadian company based out of Windsor-Detroit, has made significant strides in the fields of robotics and automation since its inception in 2008. As a systems integration company, Brave has specialized in designing and integrating technical solutions to address the complex challenges faced by North America’s largest manufacturers. Their team, consisting of skilled electrical designers, engineers, and technicians, has been dedicated to delivering high-quality results and continuously striving for improvement.
One of the hallmarks of Brave Control Solutions’ rise in the industry was their partnership with ABB, a leading supplier of industrial robots and robot software.

Are the rumors about Brave Controls true?
Employment
Sad if they are. They from the outside looked to have all the momentum and were so diversified…. Poor people.

Oh my God! Talking about a coincidence. I was talking to someone who works there just yesterday, and they told me the company got bankrupt or something and everyone was let go. Yesterday was his last day.
It’s funny because 3 weeks ago he told me that his company was hiring. So when I sent him my resume, he immediately replied that they’re not currently hiring. I was confused at first. But now he told me what happened, it all made sense.

Yes, the rumors are true… Brave ceased to exist at COB Wednesday. As for Doug Ford’s visit, that was meaningless, nothing more than a five minute greasy photo-op. It’s a shame, we had a lot of good people on staff.

Wow really? I worked for them years ago, and they were a decent company to work with. From what I saw on Linked In they looked like they were expanding and doing well.

Haven’t heard anything, but there’s a lot of companies scraping by at the moment, I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be more.

It’s a little strange given they’re advertising jobs on their website. Looks like they had stuff going on.

Not a rumor, we are done

That’s exactly the problem, company focused itself more on marketing than controls and lost sight of what the company and its deliverables

I haven’t worked for/with them, but they always seemed to be moving forward. Had a big city feel for Windsor. Doug Ford was just there less than 3 weeks ago touting how great our workforce is.

The client for a big project ain’t paying….so they are done. A shame. Automated SIP panel line hasn’t shipped, so could be sold?
