TESTIMONIALS

As a leading groundfish processor and lobster bait supplier for Southwest Nova Scotia, managing large volumes of wild caught fish is a daily requirement. Traditionally, fish sorting was done by hand and very labour intensive. Since using the custom fabricated Fish Grader from Clare Machine Works, our production has increased significantly allowing greater export on product while our labour force is free to focus on other lucrative tasks.

At A.F. Theriault, we understand the needs of fishermen, and the challenges they face when at sea. That’s why for A.F. Theriault built fishing boats, we are proud to engage Clare Machine Works as our trusted supplier of their custom-fabricated hydraulic hauler. The Clare Machine Works hauler is strong, custom-built for the need, and consistently reliable. And service? It’s second to none.

Best damn lobster/crab pot hauler on the market. Now available at Atelier F.R. Robichaud in Shippagan, NB.

Vince Stuart and his team took an innovative approach using their vast knowledge of the seafood and aquaculture sectors and came up with a unique product that performed extremely well in sea trials. His team is now bringing their product and innovative production system to market to help grow our valuable seafood sector in Atlantic Canada.

We’ve had a two-way relationship with CMW for a few years. They’ve helped us bring ideas to life and drive innovation in the fishery and oceans sectors by providing machining and mechanical services. We also utilize CMW’s services to fulfill some of our fabrication and construction needs. They are our ‘safe hands’ on the South Shore.
