Havelock Metal

What Havelock Metal does

Havelock Metal Co. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of steel roofing, siding, trim, flashing, and accessories, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario, where it relocated in 2018 to a state-of-the-art facility with a public showroom. The company roll-forms steel profiles from Galvalume (55% aluminium-zinc coated) substrate finished with SMP or Kynar/PVDF coatings, offering 14 distinct profiles across roofing (Majestic, Legacy Standing Seam, Pinnacle Steel Shingles, 7/8" Corrugated, CF Metal Shingle, Delta) and siding (SteelLap, Board and Batten, Architectural Panel, Diamond Plus, Simply Liner), complemented by trims, snow guards, fasteners, sealants, and installation tools. Manufacturing is paired with custom profile forming, the HMC Installs turnkey service (materials plus installation, launched 2024), and the HM Co. Academy contractor training program (launched 2019).

Havelock Metal sells direct to consumers through its Peterborough showroom, toll-free phone line, and online quote request form, and supplements this with a Recognized Metal Specialist (RMS) trained contractor referral network and a distributor partnership with Skidsaw Enterprises covering Northern Ontario. Customer financing is offered via a partnership with Kawartha Credit Union. End markets are primarily residential (homeowners, cottages), with secondary commercial (Delta profile), and agricultural (heavy-gauge panels for barns and fencing) segments served across Ontario. Pricing is quote-based on profile, gauge, colour, and quantity, with no public list pricing.

The company is founder-owned and operated with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and 11-50 employees. In January 2026 it received a $750,000 CAD grant from the Government of Canada through FedDev Ontario to fund vertical integration, automation, and operational modernization. The business model is fundamentally one-time product sales augmented by turnkey installation services, contractor ecosystem development, and customer financing — a regionally focused, vertically oriented building-products manufacturer with no AI, software, or recurring subscription component.
