“We bought our father out of the business. From there, I feel that we’ve taken it leaps and bounds. We’ve been on a very high trajectory,” describes Natalie In 2020, Canadian Business recognized Strong Bros as one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada. Today, the company has rebranded under the name Strong Enterprises, growing into a general contracting powerhouse, with projects ranging from local municipalities to nationwide government contracts, and continued expansion on the horizon. PROJECT LOCATION AND SCOPE Based in Belleville, Strong Enterprises is strategically located between Ottawa and Toronto, with many projects within a radius of two hours. However, the company has a wide geographical reach, which extends far beyond these local boundaries. Strong has completed work at CFS Alert, a Canadian Forces station located at the North Pole. “We do chase projects pretty far, which I would say is something that sets our company apart from a lot of our competition, with our range of geography,” Justin states. Primary clients include entities such as Public Works and Government Services Canada, Defense Construction Canada, and various municipal governments. The company also works with school boards and the Canadian Coast Guard. “Most of our clients are government bodies,” Justin maintains. “We do a little bit more these days as our footprint grows with the private industry, but we do stick to the commercial clients.” Another aspect that helps Strong Enterprises stand out is the capability to perform a wide range of services in-house, reducing the need to always rely on subcontractors. Justin details, “As a general contractor, we also run our divisions. So, for example, we have a civil fleet excavation, we have carpentry, we have concrete finishers.” NOTABLE PROJECTS The recent construction of a new company headquarters is a point of pride for the Strong Enterprises team.
