Project Challenge

JBS Foods Group required the right solution to power their automation line at their warehouse in Brooks, Alberta. They were on a tight budget and on a tight timeline. The whole project required power distribution, lighting, and a fire alarm solution.

Our Solution

The Bartle & Gibson team were able to work closely with their manufacturers, to ensure the specifications were met for the project. This included flying our customer‘s team to the production facilities in Montreal, to see firsthand the project products being manufactured. It was quite the experience, to say the least, to see two 4,000amp switchboards being produced.

By supporting Canadian manufacturing, we were also able to beat our competitor’s turnaround time and meet the strict timeline requirements of the project. Furthermore, our team was able to help consult on every aspect of the project with our customer, and help achieve substantial savings, which in turn resulted in our customer winning the tender for the project.

Project Value

We pride ourselves on being 100% independently Canadian owned and operated, to better serve our local communities.
By sticking to our values and supporting Canadian-made product, we were able to produce and deliver the product needed in-time to get the job done.
