Bull Moose Tube Limited Announces Tough Closure of Burlington Manufacturing Facility
After more than 35 years of operation, Bull Moose Tube Limited has announced the heartbreaking decision to close its manufacturing facility in Burlington, Ontario, effective May 31, 2025. The plant, which has been an essential part of the Canadian market since 1989, will cease operations due to increasing competitive strains that have created market oversaturation and uncertain future prospects for the business in Burlington.
CEO John Krupinski expressed the company's heartfelt sentiments regarding the closure. "This was an extraordinarily difficult decision that we did not make lightly," he stated. He acknowledged the challenges this decision presents to the dedicated workforce, many of whom have been with Bull Moose for a long period. The company is committed to supporting its employees during this challenging transition.
The closure of the Burlington facility, however, does not reflect the overall outlook for Bull Moose Tube's business. The company has previously invested significant resources into its U.S. operations and is poised to continue this trend, focusing on expanding its product offerings in underserved markets.
Ambar Paul, Chairman of Caparo Bull Moose and Bull Moose Tube, underscored the company’s commitment to long-term growth despite this difficult decision affecting their Canadian operations. He cited the record investment the company recently made in Sinton, Texas, confirming the intention to strategically enhance U.S. facilities to better serve market demands.
These strategic investments emphasize Bull Moose Tube's dedication to innovation and evolution in a rapidly changing industry landscape. The company reassures that their product range remains robust in sectors like commercial construction, automotive equipment, and marine deep foundations, among others. They continue to approach the market with sustainable steel welded tubing solutions, leveraging a comprehensive understanding of customer needs.
As customers may have questions regarding their orders and service continuity, they are encouraged to reach out to their Bull Moose sales representatives for any inquiries.
