Unicor Industries has been sold to local private investor and entrepreneur Shawn Johal for an undisclosed price.

The ownership change marks a new chapter for the Montreal-based custom plastic injection-moulding company.

Unicor is a longstanding manufacturer of high-precision plastic components serving industrial, medical, mining, automotive, HVAC and lighting markets across North America. The transaction positions the company to accelerate modernization, expand production capacity and build on its reputation for engineering quality, technical expertise and sustainable manufacturing.

Johal acquired the company from Mohammed Raji, an owner-operator.

“Our goal is to invest in modern technology, scale responsibly, and elevate the experience for our clients, suppliers, and employees,” said Johal.

Johal will serve as the company’s president. As part of the transition, Raji, who has served as president in recent years, will remain with the company to support operational continuity, knowledge transfer and customer relationships. Unicor’s strategy under new ownership emphasizes operational excellence, engineering innovation, strengthened manufacturing capacity in Quebec, long-term partnerships, and continued investment in talent, culture and technology, said the company.

“Shawn brings vision, values, and a commitment to people and performance,” said Raji. “I am confident he will grow the brand while honouring the foundations that made it successful.”

The company also reaffirmed its environmental and social commitments, including expanding recycling and material recovery programs, pursuing ISO 14001 environmental certification, investing in energy-efficient equipment and advancing waste-reduction initiatives.

“We are committed to building a sustainable manufacturing future, one that balances productivity, innovation, and environmental responsibility,” said Johal.
