Built on
hard work.
Built to last.

Since 2003, Red River Integrated Solutions has grown from a single powder coating shop into Manitoba's only full-service metal processing group — offering engineering, fabrication, galvanizing, and coating all under one roof.

Grant Arklie
Founder & Leader
"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Great businesses are built one relationship, one project, and one act of service at a time."

From one idea
to one roof.

In 2003, Grant Arklie started with a simple but powerful idea — give customers a better way to get their projects completed in one place. That's how Red River Mega Coats was born.

Over two decades, it grew, evolved, and became Red River Integrated Solutions — a name that better reflects the full range of services offered today.

The belief that treating people right makes the difference has held for over 20 years.
