Imperial Manufacturing Group of Richibucto, NB, owner of Pointe-Claire Steel, has purchased Norbel Metal Service Inc., which will now become part of Pointe-Claire Steel.
The Norbel Metal management team, led by Michael and Matthew Guglielmin, will continue to manage and represent the operations of Norbel Metal. As well, all customers will continue to be served from Norbel Metal’s Etobicoke, Ontario location. Founded in 1979, Imperial Manufacturing Group is a privately held organization which primarily deals in the air distribution and building products industry for the residential and light commercial markets.
