This business was established in Galt in 1922. It was relocated to Thorold in 1923 and then within a couple of years expanded to Merritton. In the 1930s the company made power hacksaws among other products that included bench vises. In the 1940s, production of hacksaws and vises ceased. The company remains in business as CMI Heavy Industries making rolls for paper mills and steel mills.
