Without the support and assistance provided by industrial services firms, Canada’s manufacturing and heavy industries would grind to a halt. So it’s no wonder that the sector is so well-represented on the 2017 PROFIT 500 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies.

The 33 industrial services firms on this year’s ranking grew their revenues an average of 629% between 2011 and 2016. Collectively they employed 1,896 full time-equivalent employees in 2016.
