U-Build Steel Buildings

09/02/2026

As a division of Behlen Industries LP, U-Build Steel Buildings is supported by Canadian manufacturing facilities in Brandon, Manitoba, Clavet, Saskatchewan and Truro, Nova Scotia. Continued investment in these facilities is strengthening the people, equipment and production capabilities we can put into the buildings we deliver across Canada.

In Brandon, two major upgrades are happening in our plant: a new dual robotic welding system and an automated beam welding line. Once installed, these systems will support greater production capacity, more consistent weld quality and smoother production flow through structural steel fabrication. Most importantly, they will give our manufacturing team advanced tools to continue delivering the quality our customers expect. For U-Build customers, this means every project is backed by continued investment in quality, capacity and Canadian manufacturing.

Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the progress so far.

At U-Build Steel Buildings, we build more than steel buildings - we help build communities.

From the local businesses we work alongside to the people who make this community what it is, we’re grateful to have roots here in Winkler and to call it home.

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from Prairies Economic Development Canada to Behlen Industries LP's manufacturing facility in Brandon.

It was a great opportunity to showcase the progress of our new beam line installation and discuss how investments in advanced manufacturing strengthen Canadian industry, create skilled jobs, and enhance our ability to support customers across the country.

At U-Build Steel Buildings, we're proud to be a division of BEHLEN Industries LP and part of WGI Westman Group Inc., a group of companies that continues to invest in innovation and manufacturing capacity here in Canada.

These investments don't just enhance our operations, they help us deliver better solutions for our customers while contributing to the long-term competitiveness of Canadian manufacturing.

A sincere thank you to Diane Gray, Nathalie Leroux, and Laurie Crowe for taking the time to visit our facility and learn more about our business. We also want to express our appreciation to Prairies Economic Development Canada for their support in this important investment. Partnerships like these play an important role in helping Canadian manufacturers invest, innovate, and grow.

Together, we are building a stronger and more competitive Canadian manufacturing sector.

A simple line in a steel building specification can have a much larger impact than expected.

In this article, written by Mahmod Mahfoud, P.Eng., Estimating Supervisor at U-Build Steel Buildings, explains why collateral loads should be based on what the building will actually support and not simply carried forward from a previous specification.
