The Szakasci Family has operated Rider Tool and Manufacturing Co. for almost 50-years. We specialize in serving manufacturing companies in the oil and gas, mining, cement and steel sectors, where we have established a reputation as a provider of high quality and service. Our company is backed by a rich history of quality products in the fabrication and machining business. We also serve industries throughout the world.

Our company began in 1968 with the creation of the ‘Rider’ snowmobile side-sled, a popular device that allowed snowmobile riders to bring along passengers in a safe, stable way. This device was trusted by hundreds of families as a way of letting young children enjoy the fun of taking a snowmobile ride without putting them in harm’s way. The initial design was further refined into the “Rider-Ambulance” model, which modified the sled for use by Oshawa St. John’s Ambulance dispatch teams. This model was made to medical-grade standards and was used to help transport patients comfortably and securely over the kind of troublesome winter terrain that was previously much more hazardous to cross. These origins speak to our company’s proven commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety.

We have since moved into the realms of more traditional machining and fabrication for manufacturing companies, but we still pride ourselves on our living up to our legacy company that excels in quality components that put function first. No job can intimidate our expert staff or overwhelm our capacious production facilities. Whether your project is simple or complex, your production run tiny or massive, or your design tried-and-true or completely new, we know we can get the job done for you. We’ve done it for countless manufacturing companies in the past.
