Autolog driven by
quest for quality
For the past 30 years,
Autolog has been
offering expertise,
know-how and
solutions to the wood
transformation industry
for large corporations
and/or entrepreneurs
around the world
A
utolog was created in 1987.
Its first commercial offerings
were supplying industrial
controls such as lumber and log
sorters. The goal of these original
products was to reduce head count
and streamline operations.
Over the years, the company
continuously added products to the
existing line-up and rapidly became
recognized worldwide as a pioneer
offering solutions in optimization,
automation and vision.
In 2004, Autolog built a
dedicated headquarters in Québec,
Canada, with more than 32,000 ft2
of real estate, including offices and
production space.
Then, in 2011, Sylvain Magnan
took the reins of the company. In
2013, he felt the need to align the
culture of the company with his
personality and value system so
positioned the company around
three strategic axes that define
it today, are a part of everything

the success of Autolog customers.

100 professionals is made up
of highly dedicated specialists
representing the best in their field
of expertise,” Magnan said. “We
are proud to define ourselves and
live by three strategic principles:
Quality, Technology and Customer
Experience.”
Each of these key elements
precisely define the company and
its business beliefs.
Quality
“Quality transpires in everything
we do, from the way we wire our
cabinets, to the components
chosen for our systems, all the way
to our methods of management,
production and service. Indeed,
quality is found in our products,
processes and people,” Magnan
said.
Autolog offers a wide range of
products and solutions, from the
sawmill to the planer mill, for both
Our partnership approach and active listening
