As a businessman who knows the importance of having the right tools for the job, Steelworks Inc. founder and CEO, Marco Julien strives every day to create and innovate in order to provide valued customers with quality workmanship. Established in 1994 and with 25+ years of expertise in drafting, fabricating and erecting steel structures, Steelworks Inc. based in Timmins, Ontario, is a leading supplier and contractor of structural steel solutions to a host of leading producers across Canada and, at times, the United States.
From the very inception of Steelworks Inc., based out of a 5,000 sq. ft. building with a small fleet of 4 vehicles, this company was committed to providing the very best service and product to its budding customer portfolio. Making the best with the limited workspace and equipment available at the time, project size began to grow. One of the first structural builds was a local Tim Hortons café. Over time, and with continued investments in the tools and equipment of its trade, Steelworks Inc. grew to be based out of a sprawling 35,000 sq. ft. multi-shop building. Its current portfolio boasts structures of 600+ Tons of steel as well as Canada-wide and international customers.
Steelworks Inc. has also expanded its workforce. The CWB accredited W47.1 & W47.2 certified company now encompasses a multi-disciplined workforce comprised of Draftsman, Fabricators, CWB certified Welders and Industrial painters. Steelworks Inc. also has its very own structural steel erection division: STW Field Install & Welding Inc. This division specializes in the erection of their steel structures, installation of equipment structures, plant shut-down maintenance, as well as general welding and maintenance services. Two projects in which the company has been involved for which it is especially proud are the Newpost Creek hydroelectric dam project (pictures included) and its work with Cementation on its Alamos Gold structural projects.
Keeping in line with Steelworks Inc.’s ISO:9001 compliance, they are committed to achieving total customer satisfaction and market leadership by supplying consistent quality products, complying with product and quality system requirements, continuously improving effectiveness of our management system, utilizing all available resources effectively and creating an environment of team work, positive attitude, innovative approach and safety first practice.
Continued investment in state-of-the-art equipment, hard work, grit and determination have catapulted Steelworks Inc. into the successful and long-lasting business it is today. This momentum bolsters promise of robust future accomplishments and continued growth.
With regard to future opportunities for the company and the mining industry in northern Ontario, Julien says that region is currently experiencing a mining boom. “With such massive projects being under way, Steelworks Inc. will be partaking in their actualization. Buildings, structures and solutions will be needed and we will be here to provide them”.
Steelworks Inc.’s resilience, like the very steel in its namesake, is here to stay.
