Fleet Canada

Fleet Canada Inc. is a manufacturer of aerospace structures, component parts, and assemblies to approved design data. It is located in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, where it has operated from the same site for more than 75 years, during which the facility has grown to over 500,000 square feet. Capabilities include tooling, detail fabrication, bonding, and finishing.

History

The company was founded by Reuben Fleet, who commenced manufacturing operations on March 23, 1930. A state-of-the-art facility for the day, the plant promptly began turning out complete aircraft for military and civilian training. By 1938, Fleet had enlarged the factory to ten times its original size and the Fleet Trainer, or Finch, had become the primary training aircraft for the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The making of complete aircraft ceased in the early 1950s and the manufacture of quality structural components became the core business.
