reels & spools

70 th anniversary for Hamelin

Founded in 1938, Hamelin continues to evolve as a leading supplier of wood reels and related services in Canada and the United States. Hamelin supplies customers with plywood and nailed wood reels from plants in Boisbriand, Quebec, Bowmanville, Ontario, and Worcester, Massachussetts. Most customers today require the vendor to manage their reel inventory. Hamelin does so with new reels and repaired and recycled reels. Canadian reels are returnable and in most cases two out of three reels are repaired. Hamelin is also located to a year- round deep sea port and supplies cable reel components

worldwide. The availability of Canadian timber and more than 70 years’ experience allow Hamelin to be competitive in many different markets. The business environment today requires constant innovation. Despite the product being an ‘old’ product Hamelin prides itself on creative thinking. Lumber, steel, reel design and exterior markings are but a few aspects being reviewed to reduce total costs to customers.
