Brooklin Concrete Products

Since 1952, Brooklin Concrete has focused on developing high quality, cost effective precast concrete products to help homeowners, landscapers, architects, industrial designers and engineers bring outdoor dreams to life. Brooklin Concrete originally began production on a site located in the north end of Brooklin, Ontario. The new company quickly established itself in the marketplace by introducing precast septic tanks in Whitby, Oshawa, and the surrounding areas. In the early 60s, while searching for a more efficient method for casting concrete patio slabs, Brooklin's founder decided to make a trip to England to observe a hydraulic press for slab and curve production. This trip resulted in the purchase of the first fielding press ever used in North America. This innovative new press enabled Brooklin to produce precast slabs to a level of strength, dimensional accuracy, and overall quality then unheard of in Canada. The new press was soon put to very active use, and as a result of increased demand, a second press was purchased. Through the 60s and early 70s, these fielding presses produced enough municipal curb to edge both sides of highway 401 from Windsor to Montreal. A branch plant was added in Newmarket in the 1960s, and one was added in Huntsville in the 1970s. In the late 1970s, Brooklin became part of a cutting-edge group of manufacturers who began full-scale production of interlocking concrete pavers; their increasing demand lead to the construction of an automated plant specializing in interlocking pavers, and in 1986, a sales depot was opened in Haliburton. Today, Brooklin's facilities are highly automated and computerized, with a total output exceeding 700 tonnes of precast concrete per day. Going forward, Brooklin Concrete will continue to pave the way in precast concrete products and technology.
