SLEEGERS Celebrates 60 Years of Success!

August 19, 2023

In 1963, Peter J. Sleegers founded a machine shop called London Metalizing & Machining Company Limited, located at 406 First Street in London. That original operation evolved over the years into SLEEGERS Engineered Products Inc., a company now operating from a facility located at 5 Cuddy Blvd in London, which is 15 times the size of the original operations.

SLEEGERS Engineered Products Inc. strives to raise the standard for excellence in the pressure vessel and propane industries. By combining engineering skill sets and industry expertise with innovative thinking, SLEEGERS develops and delivers exceptional quality products and services to fit the emerging needs of tier one customers in Canada and the United States. We look forward to the continuing evolution of our company.

Welding Artisans of the Future

March 3, 2023

On February 13th SLEEGERS visited the Fanshawe Welding Class at the St. Thomas/Elgin Regional Campus. Members of our production team described their paths to their profession and what students could expect if they were working at SLEEGERS as welders. The students were then invited to visit our SLEEGERS facility in March.

On March 3rd, we welcomed the class for a tour of our production area and finished off the day with lunch and a fun welding competition. We hope through this partnership with Fanshawe St. Thomas, to encourage our welding artisans of the future to continue to pursue their passion.
