Steele Bros. (Guelph 1986) Limited
Guelph, ON

Established in 1885 by two employees, James Steele manufactured coiled wire springs and other steel products. The steel market evolved substantially over decades. By 1897, Steele developed a front bumper for the front of Sleeman streetcars that saved many pedestrian lives. Because of the “catcher’s” success, streetcar lines all across North America adopted this device. As Steele’s business grew, it migrated to bigger facilities including two locations on Woolwich Street. Under the direction of his two sons, in 1926, the business moved to the former Raymond Sewing Machine plant which is now the Baker Street parking lot in downtown Guelph.

Building the business slowly, James Steele was committed to providing innovation and quality to his clients. By the end of his career, he was classified as an industrialist, and although modest in size, this would become one of Guelph's longest lived industries.

Today, Steele Bros. Limited is located on Johnson Street in central Guelph, which is an hour west of Toronto, in a 15,000 square foot facility. Using all the latest quality control techniques in manufacturing, as well as superior materials, Steele Bros. is meeting and exceeding the strict demands of clients all across the continent.
