Business is booming for a Saskatchewan company that manufactures steel-framed, fabric buildings.
Richard Quiring, president of Cover-All Shelter Systems, announced in December his company is expanding its operations into Saskatoon, a move that will create 45 new full-time jobs in the city.
“Customer acceptance of our product has been overwhelming in Canada, the United States and abroad.”
Ninety percent of the buildings, meant to offer an alternative to traditional or pole-type constructions, are being sold for agricultural purposes such as hay and grain storage, livestock shelters, farm equipment storage and horse riding and training facilities, Quiring said.

Corporate head office and fabric finishing operations will be centralized in the Saskatoon plant. The company used to send a portion of its fabric finishing work to the U.S. but the new site will allow that work to stay in Saskatchewan.
The company’s manufacturing plant in Hague, Sask. will continue to operate. Fifty-five people are employed there. Quiring said further expansion will start at the Hague plant in the spring.
Renovations to the new Saskatoon plant are expected to be finished early in the new year.
