A MESSAGE FROM
Russ Church, Managing Director
Welcome to Forestdale Metal Products. I hope that what follows gives you a real sense of who we are, how we work, and why we believe the relationship between a manufacturer and its customers should be something far more than a transaction.
My father, Dave, and I founded Forestdale in 1997 with a straightforward conviction: that a supplier could be genuinely useful to its customers, not just in filling orders, but in helping bring their ideas to life. From the earliest sketch to finished production, we wanted to be the partner in the room who understood both the design and the metal it needed to become.
Give Life to Ideas.
What makes Forestdale different is not equipment or capacity; it is culture. We design for manufacturability from the first conversation. We push back when a design will cost you money down the line. We flag issues before they become line stoppages. And we deliver on time because we know your schedule depends on it. These are not selling points. They are the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
I have spent my career inside this industry, building it alongside my father, then growing it into a company that now employs more than 40 skilled people in Woodstock, Ontario. I have seen what separates a good supplier from a great one, and it almost always comes down to how much they genuinely care about your success.
Our goal at Forestdale is simple:
to help you bring your ideas to life, accurately, efficiently, and on time.
We want to be the partner who picks up the phone, tells you the truth, and shows up when it matters.
