HISTORY

In 1973 Paul Nelson walked away from “job security” and started the company in a 2,800 square foot plant with three (3) employees. Initially specializing in custom fabricating in a job shop environment, the company evolved to the current 150,000 square feet of manufacturing/warehousing facilities and has diversified into several markets and products using modern equipment and techniques. Our state-of-the-art ERP system provides effective tools to manage resources ensuring on-time delivery and quality control, in either “make-to-order” or “make-to-stock” modes. Today Nelson remains a family-owned, Canadian business with Jeff Nelson (Paul’s son) driving the bus.
