Bartlett Group Plans Strathcona County, Alberta, Headquarters-Manufacturing Operations

10/11/2024
Full-service industrial contractor Bartlett Group plans to establish operations in Strathcona County, Alberta, Canada. The project is expected to create up to 100 jobs.

The company’s new Canadian headquarters and manufacturing facility, located in Sherwood Park, will produce industrial scaffolding for construction clients across North America. Production is scheduled for November 2024.

“Throughout my career in both the nuclear and industrial sectors, I have always enjoyed starting new initiatives and helping to create long-term sustainable jobs. I am very proud of our latest endeavor into Alberta and look forward to becoming a pillar in the community. We employ thousands of employees in our US operations, with a few hundred dedicated to our fabrication services. Our goal is to have the same level of success in Canada, especially in the creation of new jobs in manufacturing and fabrication,” Bruce Bartlett, Bartlett Group CEO said.

Bartlett Group specializes in maintenance, turnarounds, capital mechanical projects, refractory, soft crafts and fabrication. The company offers a range of industrial services through their various companies, including Excel Scaffolding, GMTS, Precision Refractory, GSCS, NextGen Scaffold and BOSS.

“Bartlett’s investment is a major win for Strathcona County creating more than 100 new jobs and positioning the area as a Canadian manufacturing hub. A Team Alberta approach among Alberta’s business-friendly agencies was key to Bartlett’s final decision, with Invest Alberta and the province helping the company bring their vision to life,” Rick Christiaanse, Invest Alberta CEO noted.

“The expansion of Bartlett Group into Strathcona County is a clear signal that Alberta is the prime destination for innovative manufacturing investment. By establishing their industrial scaffolding manufacturing facility in our industrial heartland, Bartlett is creating jobs, supporting the local community, and growing Alberta’s economy. We look forward to seeing the positive impacts this investment will have on Albertans and the future of our construction sector,” Matt Jones, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Trade added.
