Safway
Services Canada is pleased to announce that it has acquired Nel-Tekk Industrial
Specialties Inc. With headquarters in Sarnia, Nel-Tekk currently serves
Nanticoke, Sarnia and the southwestern Ontario region and provides a range of
insulation-related services including removal and re-installation of all types
of insulation systems; and asbestos, mould and lead abatement; as well as
identification surveys; insulation system and covering inspections; and
installation of fireproofing, fire-stopping and smoke-sealing systems.
“Nel-Tekk is
a great fit for Safway Canada,” says Steve Wilson, president of Safway Canada.
“Nel-Tekk and Safway have similar operating philosophies with a passion for
developing a culture of safety, understanding customer needs and exceeding
expectations.”
Nel-Tekk was
founded in 1987 to serve the Imperial Oil site in Sarnia. Nel-Tekk has
completed thousands of insulation and abatement projects of all sizes,
including numerous routine maintenance, capital projects and large, major
shutdowns and turnarounds. Recognized for their expertise in the industrial
sector, Nel-Tekk also has experience in commercial and institutional construction.
In addition, Nel-Tekk has established an outstanding track record in safety,
with no lost time injuries in more than 25 years and more than 2.5 million
man-hours worked safely.
Nel-Tekk
will provide Safway with 27+ years of IAF (insulation, abatement and
fireproofing) experience and expertise,” explains Mike Guerette, manager of
Nel-Tekk. “We look forward to being part of Safway Canada and continuing to
grow to become the clear leader in scaffolding, access, insulation and
coatings, and supporting the delivery of seamless SIP (scaffolding, insulation
and painting) and multiservice solutions in our area.”
As part of
Safway Canada, Nel-Tekk employees will continue to provide insulation and
abatement services at the Imperial Oil site in Sarnia. By the beginning of
2015, a Safway Sarnia Branch will be established at the current Nel-Tekk site
in Sarnia, offering a full range of access and industrial services including
scaffolding and related products; professional engineering; project management
and coatings, as well as mechanical insulation; asbestos, mould and lead
abatement; and fireproofing. “By working together, we can deliver superior
performance and customer service, as we grow and excel in today’s marketplace,
creating the best multiservice company in Canada,” concludes Wilson.
