Future Steel Buildings Inc. is a Canadian-based manufacturing company founded in 1978. Headquartered inMarkham, Ontario, the company produces steel prefabricated structures for commercial and industrial markets.
History
editFuture Steel Buildings was founded by Marcel Aitoro in 1978.[1] The company initially served small to medium sized Canadian farming communities in the early 1980s. It was one of the only production sources for agricultural storage facilities in Canada at the time. It was among the first manufacturers to produce Quonset structures for farmers, loggers, fishermen, and miners across Canada.[2][3]
The company has expanded its operations globally in the past three decades. It is a prominent manufacturer of army barracks in Russia, mining lodgings in South Africa, and platform shelters in Nigeria.[1] In the past thirty years, It currently exports industrial facilities to over 25 countries.[4][5] It has offices located in Brampton and Markham.
Since 1978, the firm has had an active involvement with the Canadian First Nations reserves and territories for over three decades. It played a role in establishing the community development for the First Nations infrastructure within the Black River, Chippewas, and Webequie communities.[6][7] The company is continuing to assist dozens of reserves with constructing such facilities as road maintenance, recycling depots and transfer stations in accordance to the First Nations Infrastructure Funding (FNIF).
Manufacturing
editFuture Steel Buildings manufactures prefabricated architectural structures primarily made out of steel.[8] The company is a manufacturer in the mining and oil industries across international markets for constructing steel buildings up to 150 feet.[2] In May 2009, Future Steel collaborated with industrial plants Sammi Ltd. and Boscongo to create the largest future steel structure in existence at the Congo Republic.[9] The infrastructure is measured at the span of 40m width.[10]
The company also has a noted history within the transportation sectors, including steel building solutions for carports, garages, hangars, and aircraft facilities. Its notable industrial projects are focused within the Canadian railway industry, including on-track train maintenance for the GO Transit and installing the platform shelters for the Ontario Northland Railway.[11]
