Our History
A Legacy Built on Innovation, Quality, and Canadian Manufacturing
For more than 90 years, Imperial Steel has been built on a simple foundation: understand the needs of our customers, create reliable solutions, and continue improving how we manufacture.
Founded in 1932 in Morris, Manitoba, Imperial Steel began as a small welding shop serving the agricultural community. What started as a commitment to solving real-world challenges grew into a manufacturing company recognized for quality steel tubing solutions across a wide range of industries.
From Agricultural Roots to Steel Manufacturing Expertise
Imperial Steel’s story began by supporting the needs of farmers and the agricultural industry. Through hands-on experience and a focus on practical solutions, the company developed a deep understanding of the importance of durable, reliable products.
Over the decades, those same principles continued to guide Imperial Steel as the company expanded its capabilities and evolved into a specialized manufacturer of ERW carbon mechanical tubing.
Growing With Our Customers
As industries changed, so did the needs of the customers Imperial Steel served. The company continued to invest in technology, equipment, and manufacturing expertise to support more demanding applications.
This evolution reflects the same commitment that has guided the company since the beginning — providing dependable products and finding solutions that meet customer requirements.
