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 to provide the most efficient, modern and well-equipped shipbuilding, boatbuilding, and repair operation in the Great Lakes. This upgrade resulted in the "rebirth" of our company as the world-class boat builder that we are today. Centrally and strategically located on the north shore of Lake Erie near Detroit USA and Windsor Canada with direct access to the St Lawrence Seaway, we are ideally situated to access key suppliers throughout North America , and also deliver our custom built vessels to customers globally.

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".

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 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're proud of our company and the quality vessels we build, but we're especially proud of our people who build them. We attribute our continued success to the value we place on human resources.
