Imperial Steel’s history has always played an important role in the company’s identity.  This year, the company will celebrate its 90th anniversary of its founding – a historic milestone for a company that was founded by an immigrant during the height of the Great Depression in rural Manitoba.

Henry Bobrowski founded Imperial Steel on May 1, 1932 as a small welding shop.  In the years that followed, he built a reputation within his local farming community for his creative solutions to farming dilemmas. 

It has been 90 years since the company’s founding and in the halls today, you will find the fourth generation of Bobrowski’s leading the charge. Though much has changed over the years, the drive for providing quality solutions for our customers is still very much at the core of our business. Imperial Steel will continue to evolve and deliver on trusted products for many more years to come.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Canada and around the world, it has been our priority to do our part. Following the directive of Public Safety Canada which lists manufacturing (e.g. primary metal/steel, blow molding, component manufacturers, chemicals, etc. that feed end-product manufacturing) as an Essential Service, we have continued our operations here at Imperial while taking the utmost pre-caution and measure to ensure the health and well-being of our staff, suppliers and clients.

For the past weeks, we have taken additional measures to protect our staff who are working throughout this crisis. We have implemented temperature testing of every staff member prior to entering the premises. Within our facilities, we have put in place social distancing measures (6 feet at all times). Doors are also locked to prevent the entry of non-essential vendors and salespeople.

To reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19, all freight paperwork are now being handled via email. Documents are digitally signed to reduce in-person interaction and surface transmission.

Thank you to our team for going above and beyond in these challenging times to keep our operations running. If you have any questions about the measures that we have put in place, please contact Terry at terryt@imperialsteel.com.
