VeriForm – Building Community Through Music Education
Paul Rak, owner of VeriForm Inc. in Cambridge at the Entergrus Power Play symposium at the John D. Bradley Centre in Chatham, Ontario.
There is always more to business than just supply and demand. At VeriForm, owner Paul Rak donated $2,500 to the Suzuki String School of Guelph to help sponsor children of families that cannot afford music education.
The generous gift was first awarded to Paul by the Chatham-Kent Sustainability Event at the John D. Bradley Centre in Chatham, Ontario. Paul was invited to the event to explain how he was able to grow the size of his fabricating plant by 145% while reducing his monthly energy costs by 58% in just under a decade. A great triumph nonetheless, but the main focus is Paul’s dedication, not only to his business but to the community that he is a part of. He immediately knew that the $2,500 award could help the community as a whole.
Paul’s $2,500 donation to the Suzuki String School of Guelph will:
Give a child 1 full year of private and group lessons with the aim that the child continues until they graduate
Provide life skills to the child that helps them into adulthood to be a well-rounded and whole individual with good roots in our community
Provide many opportunities for the child’s family to participate in the local community through dozens of events the Suzuki String School of Guelph hosts each year
Specifically, the program is focused on low-income neighbourhood schools and also towards new Canadians
Think about all the moments in life where you achieved an advantage, whether through a friend, family member, or even just a casual acquaintance. Someone helped to give you an opportunity that changed your life.

VeriForm Featured in Canada’s Metalworking & Fabricating Technology Magazine, May 2015 Issue
VeriForm, known for metal forming and metal fabrication, produces a variety of parts for any industry. From metals that are 2 inches thick and requiring a 21-foot press brake, to parts that fit in the palm of your hand, and every size in-between. Custom parts flow from the 26,000 square foot facility to almost any industry that uses metal parts, including mining, forestry, machine building, nuclear, energy, sports equipment, and medical furnishing. Capital projects like architectural work and sound barriers, which Rak sees increasing, currently contribute about 30 percent of the work.
The other 10 percent of work is machining. We found we were contracting considerable amounts of machining and losing control of turnaround and quality so we purchased a 20-foot long machining center for parts up to 2 feet wide. About 90 percent of the parts are produced from high-strength steel that is ordered by the company and delivered JIT. On occasion, a customer supplies more exotic materials like titanium or copper. Some customer parts are stocked to be available for immediate delivery.

Paul Rak, President of VeriForm Inc. and VeriGreen Inc., a sister company to VeriForm, and an energy management firm wrote an article for the December 2013 issue of Canadian Industrial Machinery Magazine, titled Incomplete Payback Data Can Undermine Energy Upgrades.
This article outlines how important it is for businesses that are considering energy-efficient upgrades, to not only consider the annual energy savings but also to consider the value of the maintenance cost savings and the costs that the company will avoid with newer more efficient equipment.
