About Us
Company History
In the early 1960s, Art Helm began a small welding and machine shop located on the Helm family farm in Ashfield Township of Huron County in rural south western Ontario. The first building was constructed in 1968 on a lot located just south of Lucknow, Ontario. The main products produced at that time were snowblowers, gravity boxes, bale stokers and wagons, while providing repair and rebuild services to farm and industrial equipment. The 1970s saw bulk feed storage tanks, grain buggies and mixer feeders added to the product line. Several building expansions were completed during this time. By 1979, the size and manufacturing capacity had more than doubled. In 1983, the business became known as Helm Welding (1983) Limited. Products manufactured at this time were snowblowers, bulk feed storage tanks, mixer feeders, wagons and grain buggies with the addition of bale shredders and rotary mowers. By the early 1990s, more dairy farmers were becoming aware of the benefits of going to a total mix ration feeding system. This saw a large increase in the sales of mixer feeders and the development of new models and refinements to the mixer feeder models. In 1998, the shares of Helm Welding (1983) Ltd. were sold from Art Helm to five employees of the company to ensure that the manufacturing facility and product line remained in Lucknow. As well, a warehouse building was added on the lot.
At present, several models of Vertical Mixers have been added to the product line to meet the ever expanding needs of total mix ration feeding. |
