“The National Shipbuilding Strategy has been a very large part of our growth overall.”
For the past 70 years, Barry-Hamel Equipment has been a go-to company serving B.C.’s welding industry. What began as a business providing welding equipment has turned into a one-stop shop offering services such as equipment rental, welding safety equipment, consumables and gases, as well as equipment repairs.
The team at Barry-Hamel has been working with Seaspan for 40 years, but it was 2010 when they signed their first contract to supply welding equipment for the first vessel being built as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS). From there, they quickly became a trusted partner for each of the vessels under construction.
Watch Steve Curr, General Manager of Barry-Hamel, talk about the company’s unique position in the welding industry and what the NSS has meant for his company.
