Over the past twenty years Boilersmith Ltd. has embarked on a program to increase the portion of its sales coming from boilers bearing the Boilersmith name. Bradford Smith came to the plant as manager in 1952. In 1976 his son, Charles Smith, B.A.Sc., P.Eng. joined full time, having worked many previous summers. Mr. Smith, Dan Bennewies and Rick Verberne are involved in selling, with outside promotion being aided by a unique sales program capable of bringing many display models to the customers location. By establishing direct contact with the end users through skilled installation and service contractors a sales mechanism has been found that often outperforms less imaginative sales approaches.
X-raying the welded seams in the boilers, as required, verifies that welds are sound.
As with all of our employees those doing this work are involved with a wide variety of other activities. Dan is the resident computer whiz, who also manages the accounting operations, performs costing analysis, and coordinates purchasing and service activities. Mr. Verberne's additional duties include quoting, purchasing, and boiler design. Our plant supervisory staff undertakes machinery maintenance, building repair and renovation, and fabrication tasks in addition to overseeing production. Boilersmith Ltd. provides its customers with a 24 Hr. service capability.
