Composites Innovation Centre Manitoba Inc., a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based not-for-profit engineering firm that provides design, analysis, testing, and fabrication services to the manufacturing industry, filed for bankruptcy on April 14, listing approximately $1.5 million in liabilities. When the company was first formed, it was backed by Boeing Canada and a group of some of Canada's largest agricultural equipment manufacturers. However, the company's efforts to develop the supply chain necessary to make its work sustainable consistently proved unfruitful. Eventually, the company lost a significant amount of its public sector operating and project funding from the provincial and federal governments. Deloitte is the bankruptcy trustee.
