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. This in part included diversity and expansion of our product range of boats, ships and vessels we could build, including the delivery and after sales service of these for both domestic and global 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 up-grading resulted in essentially the "re-birth" of the company into the world class boat builder we are known as 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".

We have cultivated an attitude of pride and performance with every new boat, ship, or repair we build, and we also encourage individual creativity and initiative. 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 into a manufacturer that has one of the largest portfolios of rugged, high-performance custom built boats, vessels and ships in the world. Our reputation is now internationally renowned for versatility, quality, 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. We attribute our continued success to the value we place on human resources.
