The business operated as a steel tubing service center with particular focus on supplying mechanical steel tubing to the hydraulic cylinder industry. With an outstanding commitment towards customer service, Summo Steel Corporation quickly developed a strong reputation in the marketplace. 1995 Summo began supplying the automotive industry directly, receiving its first manufacturing contract to supply fabricated tubular components for automotive manual seat tracks. This spawned the birth of the corporations second division; the Manufacturing Division. The division grew very quickly developing a strong competence and identity as a tube bending and product assembly specialist in the automotive seating industry. 2000 The Service Center Division ( www.summosteel.com ) expanded its core competency to include value added machining and end finishing of D.O.M. tubing. It also goes on to acquire H&S Honing in Brantford, ON allowing it to offer tube honing services to its cylinder customers. The Division was then awarded a contract to supply canisters for driver and passenger-side air bag modules. Building on its long-standing reputation for exemplary customer service, the Service Center Division has become a leading supplier of air bag canisters in North America. 2003 Recognizing the growth potential of the safety restraints market, the Manufacturing Division secured its first contract to supply gas guide assemblies used in side-curtain air bag modules. With a company wide commitment to excellence, the division has quickly become a recognized specialist in the processing of various gas guide applications and is developing some of the industry's most cost effective gas guide manufacturing solutions. Summo stands uniquely prepared to offer its customers cost effective solutions on a broad range of tubular product needs.
