Cambridge Pro Fab

What Cambridge Pro Fab does

Cambridge Pro Fab Inc. is a privately held Canadian steel fabrication company founded in the late 1980s/early 1990s and headquartered in Brantford, Ontario, with a secondary manufacturing facility in Ancaster, Ontario. The company specializes in plate and duct work fabrication for the power generation industry, supplying steel ducting, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, baghouses, hoppers, scrubbers, absorbers, HRSG components, exhaust silencers, filter houses, and structural and access steel to coal, natural gas, and oil refinery customers across North America. Its core technical differentiator is a proprietary trial-fit assembly process in which large components are test-assembled at the Ancaster facility, marked, disassembled, and shipped to site, which the company reports drives less than 0.01% backcharges on multi-million-pound projects.

The company operates a 250,000 sq. ft. indoor manufacturing facility with 60-foot-wide bays, 25 feet of under-hook clearance, and over 50 tons of crane capacity, supplemented by US-based fabricating partnerships for oversized modules. Revenue is generated on a project-based custom fabrication model through direct enterprise field sales, with pricing determined per project via consultation and estimating; complementary service lines include industrial engineering (3D solid modeling), project management, material procurement, quality assurance, and logistics. The named customer base includes Southern Company, Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil, Husky Energy, Sunoco, Valero Energy, North York Energy Station, and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, indicating long-tenured relationships with North American utilities, oil refineries, and infrastructure operators. An ancillary custom fabrication line serves mining, aggregate, and other industrial customers, providing modest vertical diversification beyond the power generation core.
