Tri-Mach Group

What Tri-Mach Group does

Tri-Mach Group Inc. (TMG) is a privately held Canadian multi-disciplinary skilled trades company headquartered in Elmira, Ontario, founded in 1985. TMG delivers custom engineered manufacturing solutions to large processors in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and agriculture across North America by integrating five traditionally separate trades — fabrication, millwrighting, electrical, process piping, and automation — under a single corporate umbrella. The company operates through wholly owned specialty brands: Tri-Mach (sanitary stainless steel equipment and turnkey systems for F&B and pharma), Advance Millwrights (equipment installation for agriculture and industrial sectors), ICS / Industrial Contracting Solutions (electrical, automation, and custom panel building), Smith Steel & Fabrication (heavy structural steel, silos, and tanks, acquired January 2026), and technology brands Ever-Kleen Technology and IRONCORE Technology.

The company's product portfolio centers on custom-built sanitary stainless steel equipment for regulated industries, supported by proprietary registered products including the Ever-Kleen Vertical Elevator Systems and the Kleen-Lift Column Pro for material handling. Technical capabilities extend into Industry 4.0 automation and robotics integration for manufacturing processes, with production executed across five Ontario facilities (Elmira headquarters plus Stratford and Atwood) including a 45,000 sq ft Skilled Trades Centre of Excellence opened in 2023. The Skilled Trades Accelerator Program, launched in 2024, is an internal training initiative for workforce development.

TMG generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts: custom fabrication of stainless steel equipment and structural steel (one-time project work), on-site installation and millwrighting services (professional services), electrical installations and custom panel building (professional services), and process piping design and installation. Pricing is non-public and varies by project scope. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales targeting the largest processors in each vertical, with no channel intermediaries. Corporate leadership comprises CEO Krystal Darling and Chairman Ryan Martin, and the company has received five consecutive years (2022-2026) of Canada's Best Managed Companies recognition, including Gold Standard status for the last two years.
