Hike Metal Products Ltd

Since 1958, and through the early years of our ship building, we enjoyed a modest but steady growth supporting our local fishing industry with new vessels and on-going repairs.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, we realized that we needed to redefine our corporate goals and the strategies we would use to achieve them. In part, this included diversifying and expanding our product range, which included the boats, ships, and vessels that we could build. It also included delivery and after-sales service for domestic and international clients. Our facilities were restructured and up-graded in order to offer our customers the most modern, well equipped and efficient shipbuilding, boatbuilding and repair operation on the Great Lakes. This upgrade resulted in the "rebirth" of our company as the world-class boat builder that we are today. We are strategically located on the northshore of Lake Erie, near Detroit, USA, and Windsor, Canada, with direct access to St. Lawrence Seaway. This allows us to reach key suppliers in North America and deliver our custom-built vessels to customers worldwide.

Our highly skilled team, many of whom have been with us since the company's inception, is one of our greatest assets. They pass on their skills of craftsmanship to younger generations. We maintain a "family" of "Master Boat Builders".

Stressing individual creativity and initiative, we have cultured an attitude of both pride and performance in every new boat or ship built, or repair turned out. This is evident in every phase of the process. Our team continues to improve, raising the standard for both quality and value. We have grown to be a manufacturer with one of the largest portfolio's of rugged, high performance custom built boats, ships and vessels in the world. Our reputation has grown to be internationally recognized for its versatility, reliability, and competitiveness. We are proud of the quality vessels that we build and of our company, but we are most proud of the people who build them. The value we have placed on human resources has been a rewarding one, one which we attribute our continuing success.
