Tree Island Steel

Over our 60 years in business, we have developed strong relationships with our customers. Recently, we received a testimonial from one of our valued customers, who shared his experience with us: “Tree Island Steel has been a long-term partner of Prime Fasteners, Edmonton, for decades. Our customers appreciate the consistency of quality and the magnetically aligned nails. Happy 60th anniversary, Tree Island Steel. You don’t look a day over 40!” Mike Forde, General Manager Prime Fasteners Ltd. Edmonton, AB

Tree Island Steel was a proud sponsor of the Richmond firefighter's first annual charity golf tournament on May 29, 2024. Proceeds from the event will go towards youth/child mental health supports in the community.

Once again, the BC Lions put on an amazing Draft-a-Lion event where we were able to partner with our draft selection, #18 Justin McInnis!  Justin is not only a great wide receiver, but in the off-season, he acts as a role model, giving presentations to children in our community. Tree Island Steel is a proud supporter of the BC Lions Football Team.  We look forward to our partnership with Justin and the BC Lions.  Go Lions go!

Did you know? At one time, Tree Island really was a small island in the middle of the Fraser River. The portion of the Fraser River that separated the island from Richmond was filled in, allowing easy access and plenty of room to grow. The sole tree that became the company’s namesake was removed to make way for expansion.  The tree may be gone, but while it was there, it was a symbol of growth and progress, and ultimately sowed the seeds of improvement, achievement and success. And just like the tree, our team has helped us develop strong and deep roots, which not only allow us to weather difficult times, but also give us a strong foundation for growth.  

Proud to be part of the "Hammer It" Skills Competition at the Kent Pro Show. Note the use of Tree Island Steel nails in the competition. They NAILED IT!

As long-time supporters of the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Tree Island Steel was proud to attend the annual Heart & Stroke Gala on Saturday, May 4. The evening provides the opportunity to come together to fund life-saving stroke research, raise awareness about the FAST signs of stroke, and support work in stroke recovery.

Another Canadian company that was founded in 1964!

April 28 is Canada’s National Day of Mourning, a solemn occasion dedicated to remembering and honoring workers who have lost their lives, suffered injuries, or experienced illness due to workplace incidents. On Monday, April 29th the Tree Island Steel team observed the occasion in the following manner: ·        Laying wreaths at our Richmond location and Jack Poole Plaza in downtown Vancouver (photos one and two respectively). ·        Encouraging employees to wear Day of Mourning decals. ·        Raising awareness of the event on our intranet and social media. ·        Pausing for a moment of silence.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we have come across other successful companies that also got their start in Canada in 1964, such as Tim Hortons. Note the similarity of the logos – great minds think alike!

Congratulations to the ladies of Tree Island Steel, led by Nancy Davies, COO, for recognition in the Report on Business 2024 Women Lead Here list! Their annual benchmark of gender diversity in corporate Canada celebrates 97 companies with more than 30% women in executive roles. In creating the 2024 Women Lead Here list, Report on Business magazine assessed approximately 500 publicly traded companies in Canada with annual revenues greater than $50 million. A weighted methodology was applied, considering the company’s profitability, revenue growth and three-year return. The diversity of the executive team was also considered, as was the year-over-year comparison of female representation in the executive ranks. Congratulations to the female leaders of Tree Island Steel on your achievement!
