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.

During the late 1970's and early 80's we recognized the need to re-define our corporate goals , and the strategies by which we were to achieve those goals. 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 to provide the most efficient, modern and well-equipped shipbuilding, boatbuilding, and repair operation in 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.

With vessels in service worldwide, one of our greatest assets today is our team of highly skilled personnel, many having been with the firm since its' inception, passing down their craftsmanship skills to newer 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 through out each phase of the work process . Our team is constantly improving, raising the bar for 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. We attribute our continued success to the value we place on human resources.
