THERE’S LOTS TO BE PROUD OF AT LOPES
Our company was founded in 1976 by Felix Lopes Senior, a perfectionist of the trades and a gentleman when it came to conducting business. Today, we operate with the same founding principles Felix implemented when he started this company from his modest garage in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
Our team has completed some of the more complex fabrication jobs in Northern Ontario and across Canada.
Our success over the last 40 years is attributed to our pride in what we do. Felix Lopes Senior was a team builder who recognized that quality products came from detail-oriented individuals who work together with a project goal. Today, we continue to work with the same principles of integrity and passion in every aspect of our operations and believe that in order to be progressive we must continue to adapt to and invest in technology.
OUR HISTORY
Lopes was founded on the principle of integrity, hard work, and the dedication to deliver premium products of our labour. We’re headquartered out of Coniston in the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
