Samuel Manu-Tech Inc., a Canadian-owned and operated company, is a shining example of the successful outcome of time-honoured traditions combined with innovative forward thinking.

Opening its doors as a publicly owned company in 1985, Samuel Manu-Tech Inc. has enjoyed unqualified success and remarkable growth in its first decade. This success is not the least bit surprising as the foundations of Samuel Manu-Tech Inc. are built upon the same corporate philosophies, business ethics and standards of excellence as its parent company, Samuel, Son & Co., Limited.

With roots going back to Lewis Samuel, Samuel, Son & Co., Limited has been family owned and operated for over 140 years. Now captained by great-grandson Ernest, the company maintains its position at the forefront of the marketplace through innovation and expansion as required to address the ever-changing and increasing needs of the Canadian and international steel markets. One such landmark expansion was the formation of Samuel Manu-Tech Inc., incorporated to facilitate the company’s pursuit of opportunities in metals manufacturing and technology.
