Our Team

Mr. Sochaj and his wife immigrated to Canada in the late seventies and he began working at Cyclone. From his humble beginnings, he quickly was highly regarded as an excellent employee and established the base of operations and directed several projects for his superiors. Through hard work and dedication, Andrew in 1990 acquired full shares of Cyclone Manufacturing Inc. and over the years grew this entity from a 24,000 sq ft facility to 500,000 sq ft, working alongside and developing long term relationships with world renowned Aerospace OEMs. Never satisfied with the status quo, Mr Sochaj continues today in leading our development, through innovation and leadership. Andrew is a graduate of the University of Lublin, Poland, and holds a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree. As a community leader and a patron of the arts, he is always involved in community service. Mr. Sochaj, a proud father of 2 and grandfather of 5, has a strong belief in mentoring the younger generation to succeed.
