L-K METAL PRODUCTS CO. LIMITED

Description

L-K Metal Products was founded in 1928 by J. R.Lynn and a partner Mr. Haven Kimmerly, hence the name L-K. At the time, Mr. Lynn was already operating J. R. Lynn Sheet Metal which began in1921. Mr Kimmerly left the partnership in 1938. It wasn’t until after the Great Depression and World War II, in the early 1950’s, that L-K Metal began to grow. J. R. Lynn’s two eldest sons, Jack and Dewart, were managing L-K Metal while Murray and his father continued to operate J. R. Lynn Sheet Metal until Mr. Lynn’s retirement in 1955. L-K Metal Products Company Limited was incorporated in 1952 with Jack, Dewart and Murray as principals. At this time, L-K was not only a heating wholesaler, but also a small manufacturer of metal products including duct work, stove pipe, and even radiator cowls for farm equipment. By the end of the 1950’s, manufacturing had given way to a focus on wholesaling HVAC equipment and supplies. As the company grew, warehousing became an issue and inventory was actually being stored in rented neighbourhood garages and warehouses. In 1966, L-K Metal relocated to the current Lincoln Road location. Since that time, the building has undergone three expansions and today encompasses 55,000 square feet resting on 3.2 acres in the heart of Windsor.
