Why Shockform’s Controlled Goods Registration Matters in Aerospace & Defence

Emilie Laforge — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:30:20 +0000

Canada’s Controlled Goods Program sets strict standards for organizations handling sensitive defence and aerospace technology. Registration is not automatic; it requires demonstrated accountability, traceability, and operational discipline. For Shockform, a Quebec-based manufacturer of portable peening solutions operating in 80+ countries over the past 20 years, earning this registration formalizes what our teams have always applied in the field. Recognized as equivalent to ITAR requirements in the United States, this registration opens the door to deeper collaboration on regulated programmes across Canada and the U.S., and signals to our partners that Shockform meets the standards that come with it. “This milestone reflects the level of discipline and accountability we expect from our team. Operating in regulated environments is not just about access. It is about meeting the standards that come with it,” says Brigitte Labelle, CEO of Shockform. This registration allows Shockform to support programs involving controlled components and sensitive technical data while reducing barriers for collaboration within regulated aerospace and defence programs across Canada and the U.S. For our customers and partners across aerospace, OEMs, MROs, Airlines, Cargo, and Defence, it means working with a team prepared for the operational realities of regulated maintenance environments. Talk to our aerospace and […]

Beyond Farnborough: Shockform Across the UK

Emilie Laforge — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:48:18 +0000

Reading time: 1 minute Farnborough International Airshow brings together aerospace professionals from across the world, from military and airline operations to the rapidly growing MRO engine sector, making it a key moment to stay connected to evolving industry realities. Beyond the event itself, this moment is an opportunity for our team to visit clients, listen, observe, and engage through discussion and training, as aerospace maintenance challenges are rarely theoretical. Limited access, complex geometries, FOD-less environments, and pressure on turnaround times shape the way work gets done every day. At Shockform, our approach has always been to bring solutions that adapt to these realities. Our portable peening solutions, including FlapSpeed® PRO, Spiker®-ES, and SmartPeen®, are designed with that in mind, enabling precise, controlled processes directly on-site without adding unnecessary complexity to existing workflows. This helps prevent corrosion and stress fatigue on critical all-metal components. Whether used for routine maintenance, hard-to-reach areas, or time-sensitive operations, our portable peening tools are built to integrate naturally into day-to-day environments while maintaining consistency and traceability. For teams planning maintenance and training activities this summer, this period offers a practical opportunity to align with our presence in the UK. Learn more about our manual peening training […]

Shockform Plants Trees to Reduce Its Carbon Footprint

Félix Dionne — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 15:55:23 +0000

At Shockform, innovation in portable peening solutions also means taking responsibility for our environmental impact. As a Canadian aerospace company based in Québec with over 20 years of expertise, we support both OEMs and maintenance providers across Canada and internationally with portable peening solutions designed for real-world aerospace environments — including shot peening, rotary flap peening, and needle peening. While being on site is essential to deliver performance, flexibility, and support audit and compliance requirements in demanding aerospace environments, it also contributes to our carbon footprint. Supporting Responsible Innovation in Aerospace To help offset part of this impact, our team partnered with Arbre Évolution for a tree-planting day. Through this initiative, we contribute to reforestation efforts in Québec, helping capture carbon, restore ecosystems, and support a healthier environment for future generations. At Shockform, we believe that responsible innovation goes hand in hand with practical action — from developing portable solutions adapted to field conditions to supporting initiatives that give back to the environment. Small actions, when done consistently, can lead to meaningful change.
