Since 1958, and through the early ears, Hike Metal enjoyed modest but steady growth while bing given support form the local fishing industry. The late 1970's and early 80's however brought about the need to redefine our corporate goals and the strategies by which we were to achieve those goals. Therefore, the firm's facilities and infra structure were subjected to a finely tuned "re-structuring plan." This upgrading has resulted in providing customers today with one of the most modern, well equipped shipyard facilities on the Great Lakes in which they can turn to. One of our greatest assets, however, is our team of highly skilled personnel, some having been with our firm since its conception. Stressing individual creativity and imitative, we have cultured an attitude of both pride and performance in every new building or repair turned out. This is evident throughout each phase of construction. Our reputation is now internationally renowned for versatility, quality, reliability and competitiveness. We're proud of our company and the vessels we build, but we're especially proud of our people who build them. The value we've placed on human resources has been a rewarding one, one in which we attribute our continuing success. We eagerly look forward to your inquiries. Whether you're planning new construction or in need of a repair and refit, you can be assured of our commitment to integrity and quality in every job we do.
