Century of Marine

In 1940, Keating and Son’s Limited was a small Montreal company consisting of an engineer, a blacksmith, and W.J. Keating himself. By 1943, they were Canada’s fastest growing producers of ship parts, and expanded to become W.J. Keating Ltd.

In the 1980’s Keating was merged into Dibblee Tools, and continued the tradition of producing Keating products. To show our pride in our heritage, we continued to show the KEATING logo, a promise in quality.

Our capabilities expanded to steel and aluminum welding fabrication and precision machining. We perform complete assembly of a wide variety of items, all of varying complexity. You can rest assured that our products will meet the standards of our valued customers, as we use only approved and certified materials and our production is carefully monitored.

Since the late 1980’s, Dibblee Tools Ltd. has been involved in Government contracting for Marine and Industrial products, and has successfully delivered thousands of products under hundreds of contracts to Government Departments including PWGSC, DND and CCGS.

In 2023 Dibblee Industries continues on the same products.
