Our Services for the Textile Industry in Canada
AM Saxum provides tailored consulting services to help textile manufacturers improve productivity, reduce inefficiencies, and access funding opportunities. Our integrated approach includes Lean Six Sigma implementation (certification, training, and full transformation), Operational Excellence programs, Lean Leadership development, and expert support for SR&ED tax credit claims and government grant applications.
Textile manufacturers commonly face operational challenges such as long changeover times, high defect and rework rates, inefficient planning, inconsistent quality control, and limited coordination between design, production, and logistics. AM Saxum addresses these issues using Lean tools, structured continuous improvement strategies, and hands-on coaching to drive performance and cross-functional alignment.
With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, our consultants bring deep operational insight and a strong track record. Our Lean programs routinely deliver annual savings exceeding 20% of payroll. We’ve delivered over $500 million in savings to clients across our services, including SR&ED and government funding—with a 96% approval rate and a proprietary tracking system that ensures accurate, compliant, and low-disruption execution.
Whether you need support for textile innovation, Lean transformation, or SR&ED funding, AM Saxum is your trusted partner in driving measurable results.

Lean Six Sigma Services for the Textile Industry
Textile manufacturers face persistent inefficiencies such as long fabric changeovers, high scrap or rework from dyeing and stitching issues, equipment downtime, and communication gaps between departments. At AM Saxum, we offer Lean Six Sigma consulting services specifically designed to address these issues and build efficient, high-performing operations.
Our services include Lean Six Sigma certification, corporate training, and full-scale Lean organizational transformation—supported by robust Operational Excellence frameworks and Lean Leadership development.

Government Grants + SR&ED for the Textile Industry
Textile manufacturers often overlook government incentives that support innovation, process improvement, and workforce development. One of the most impactful programs is Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit, which allows eligible companies to recover up to 42.3% of qualifying R&D expenditures.
SR&ED-eligible projects in textiles may include:
- Developing new fabric types, blends, or finishing techniques
- Modifying dyeing or treatment processes for better performance
- Enhancing durability, colorfastness, or elasticity through experimentation
- Integrating automation into textile workflows
- Applying Lean principles to reduce defects or increase throughput
At AM Saxum, we help textile manufacturers identify eligible activities, streamline documentation, and secure funding with minimal disruption. With over 20 years of industry experience, a 96% approval rate, and $500 million in savings delivered across our services, we bring the expertise and systems needed to maximize results. Our proprietary SR&ED tracking system ensures compliance and simplifies the entire process.
Whether you're pursuing SR&ED for textile innovation or looking for funding to improve manufacturing operations, AM Saxum helps you secure the incentives you deserve—so you can stay focused on production and growth.

What Our Clients Say
FAQ
Does AM Saxum provide on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification?
Yes — for businesses, not for individuals. We offer tailored on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification programs exclusively for companies. Our training is designed to address real operational challenges within your organization and is delivered by experienced consultants with hands-on industry expertise. At this time, we do not offer individual or public courses for private learners.
What types of businesses can benefit from the government grants AM Saxum supports?
How long does it take to receive SR&ED funding?
The timeline can vary, but most businesses receive SR&ED refunds within 3 to 6 months of filing their claim. If your company is filing for the first time, or if the CRA requests additional documentation, processing may take slightly longer. AM Saxum streamlines this process by preparing strong, audit-ready claims that reduce the likelihood of delays.
Do you only work with large companies?
Not at all. We work with businesses of all sizes—from small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations. Whether you’re a growing business looking to scale more efficiently or a mature organization aiming to improve profitability, our Lean and funding strategies are customized to fit your size, structure, and goals.
How do I know if my business is eligible for SR&ED or other grants?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including your business structure, the nature of your activities, and your location. If you’re conducting R&D, developing new products, or revising existing ones, or implementing new processes, you may qualify. AM Saxum offers a free initial assessment to determine your eligibility and identify the best funding options.
