THE HISTORY OF GENAIRE

From its humble beginnings in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario to one of the most trusted aerospace manufacturers in Canada, Genaire Limited provides high-quality manufacturing, repair and overhaul expertise to a diverse customer base, building client confidence through communication, trust, integrity and safety.

But our success didn’t happen overnight.

Genaire was built over years of dedication, spanning three generations of a family’s persistence and the pursuit of excellence.

The business may have changed over time, but our values always remained the same. We began doing business not only with the government but also with other aerospace companies, small operators, and even commercial airlines, as we found a niche where we could be of service.

More than seven decades of growth and repeat business could not be achieved without a highly qualified and motivated team of employees that dates all the way back to our grandfather and his team. Since the beginning, we have always been a strong family-owned company that prides ourselves on having the right people in the right positions to assist our customers in achieving their goals.
