“We’re very proud of these projects, even though our rebar is invisible,” says Mike Kubes, general manager and co-owner of Kit Steel. “Those photos are a reminder to us of the way we worked with our customers to see these projects through and to celebrate their completion.”
PHOTO SUPPLIED BY KIT STEEL – One of Kit Steel’s largest projects was the Walker Sports and Abilities Centre at Brock University, completed in support of the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games. As the new guys in town, contractors began asking the brothers if they wanted to upsize their game. The company soon began to bid on larger and larger tenders and outgrew the small facility.
“In 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, we put on our masks and broke ground on a 13,000-square-foot rebar fabrication facility,” Kubes says. “That gave us the additional capacity we were looking for.” The company currently employs 15 workers, including welders who work on custom rebar assemblies. Business is good, although the industry faces some supply chain issues.

Food recalls are pretty common for things like rocks, insects and plasticRocks in Trader Joe’s cookies. Insects in its broccoli-cheese soup. Pieces of plastic in Banquet frozen chicken strips. In recent weeks, U.S. consumers have seen high-profile food recalls for an unappetizing reason: They're contaminated with foreign objects that have no place on a dinner plate.
