Empire Machinery and Tools is a division of Empire Sheet Metal Mfg. Co. Ltd. (est. 1925) one of Canada's oldest manufacturers of HVAC fittings and custom sheet metal products. Over the years other shops would come to us for used machinery and advice on purchasing new equipment. This was such a regular occurrence that Mel Manishen, the owner of Empire Sheet Metal took people within his organization and started Empire Machinery & Tools Ltd. We put out our first catalogue in 1987 and since then have sold millions of dollars worth of equipment to companies across North America. Our philosophy is simple, "if we can't help you to become more profitable then we don't deserve your business".
