Our Training Program
Means We Have The Expertise In-House
Continuous training ensures the highest level of expertise. At John Thurston Machine Ltd. that includes traditional trades people, such as machinists, millwrights, mechanics, riggers and fabricators, as well as experienced engineers. Much of the upgrading of skills is done in partnership with the Department of Labour's Apprenticeship Program. Because of our professional staff,
our interdisciplinary approach to manufacturing and our extensive equipment, we can complete any project from beginning to end in-house at our 50,000 square foot facility.
