Fort Garry Industries was established in 1919 by Fred Sicinski, who operated a tire repair shop in the lane between Winnipeg’s downtown streets of Fort and Garry. Over the years, the expanding business started selling wholesale tires and automotive parts, repairing brakes, and distributing wheels, rims, and related parts.
Fort Garry Industries now consists of three operating divisions including an aftermarket parts and service division, an original equipment division, and a remanufacturing division which rebuilds brakes and other components.
Of the company’s complement of 502 employees, 100 work in the Winnipeg branch which contains the company’s corporate offices, an aftermarket sales showroom, drive-through service bays and equipment sales offices. The remanufacturing operations are located in a separate facility just southwest of the city.
