B.I.D. Canada Ltd. started as “Basic Industrial Design Limited”:
A one-man engineering company in 1981.
Provided Engineering and Layout drawings for industrial clients
on various types of projects.
Conveyors were part of the business that became very active.
The company expanded to 5 design employees. At that point it
started sub-contracting the fabrication of conveyors.
In 1989, the manufacturing facility was built to take on an
increasing workload.
3.
In 1989, the manufacturing facility was built in Woodstock,
New Brunswick, Canada, at the intersection of
TransCanada Highway 2 and US Interstate 95.
Efficient highway access to North America and several
Atlantic seaports
4.
Most work was within the pulp and paper industry
during the first half of the 1990’s.
The company grew to about 50 employees
Fabrication plant was expanded to 40,000 sq. ft.
Around 1992 we started to do projects outside of
pulp and paper, such as coal handling, limestone
and FGD gypsum.

Few projects are now pulp & paper, although
many biomass energy projects for pulp & paper
clients. Most of our projects now are for coal,
cement, potash, nickel and biomass.
The company currently has 62 employees.
Two (2) 9,000 sq ft assembly/storage buildings
added in 2011.
