Hike Metal Products Ltd

Since 1958, our company has grown steadily, supporting the local fishing industry by providing new vessels and ongoing 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 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".

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 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 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. The value we have placed on human resources has been a rewarding one, one which we attribute our continuing success.
