About Us

Selkirk Machine Works was established in the early 1950’s as a shipbuilder. We became renowned for our expertise in the field and the vessels we have built. Today, we employ numerous employees skilled in machining, millwrighting, welding and have capabilities to produce technically complicated fabrication projects.


As marine traffic began to diminish on Lake Winnipeg, Selkirk Machine Works continued to make a mark in the steel industry, specializing in manufacturing and refurbishment of gates and guides for the hydro-electric power generating industry. At the same time, we continue with marine repairs. We have also invented and hold the patent on the ice router.
