Built by Laurin since 1965

Laurin was founded by two brothers, Denis and Mario Laurin, who trained in industrial design, welding and machining at the Institut de Technologie de Montréal in the early 1960s. They started with the family welding machine, taking small contracts for neighboring farms on evenings and weekends.

Today the company builds steel containers and storage cabinets at its plant in Laval, Quebec, near Montreal. The heavy-duty storage cabinet on this site is made there and prepared for customers across the United States.
