CALGARY, AB - Three main rules for success in the real estate market are said to be: location, location, location. And that same maxim could also apply to the dramatic success of Grant Metal Products Ltd., a custom manufacturer of sheet metal products for the construction, glazing, and signage industries, which found itself in the middle of the construction boom in Calgary, AL.  
Grant Metal was founded by Bill Grant and his wife Jean in 1980. Through the years, the company has evolved to become the supplier of choice for a growing list of customers who require high quality, consistent precision-made sheet metal components in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and customers who supply products around the world. During this time, the company has grown from three to 22 employees and today is housed in a facility that provides 31,000 sq. ft. for production, equipment operation, storage, and project management.  Grant Metal fabricates mainly light gauge material for its customers - everything from 26 gauge to 1/4 in. steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel.
The company attributes its continued growth to its ability to respond to new business opportunities and the willingness to try new things.  "We have continually diversified our services," explains General Manager John Reitmeier.
