VB Steel is a family-owned custom cut, fabricating and welding shop situated on Pioneer Road in Chisholm, Ontario, just outside North Bay. VB Steel serves plants, maintenance departments, contractors and small manufacturers who cannot afford to sit around waiting for their broken parts. An improperly working frame or a broken bracket can bring the whole manufacturing process to a halt. VB Steel exists for that moment. The company is CWB Division 2 certified, and its owner holds a Red Seal as a Structural Plate Fitter/Welder, so the work going back onto the floor has real credentials behind it.The core of the work is Northern Ontario industrial metal fabrication which is done from start to finish in one shop. The shop owns a CNC plasma cutting machine that has a table size of 5 feet x 10 feet and can cut metal material of up to 1-inch thickness. The CNC plasma cutter is capable of cutting any conductive metal, and the company has cut steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Afterward, the crew assembles, welds, and finishes the part.
"When a machine is down, nobody wants to hear that a part is weeks away or that the weld might hold," said a company spokesperson. "We cut, fit and weld every piece in our own shop, and the owner who quotes your job works on the same floor where it gets made. If a bracket cracks or a frame needs to be remade, send us a photo or the old part. We will tell you straight what we can do, and every job goes out under our CWB Division 2 certification."
Ian and Lisa Van Blyderveen own and operate VB Steel. Ian has been working with metal for 26 years, beginning with structural and custom fabrications. Additionally, he is a CWB Certified Welding Supervisor who has practical knowledge of CNC processing and robotic welding/fixturing. That background matters to an industrial buyer who needs the tenth part to match the first. The shop has delivered more than 30,000 projects and parts, and it makes every piece in-house rather than importing and reselling products.
