Company Profile

The History of Balzer's Canada Inc.

BCI was founded in 1937 by C.H. Balzer. The Balzer family has been keenly involved in the operation of the business, and C.H.'s grandson, Ron, currently sits as President and CEO.


During the 1970's, BCI diversified into the industrial field, completing work on water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants and thermal generating plants. During the 1980's BCI expanded into a new office and fabrication shop, which was comprised of over 15,000 square feet situated on three acres of property east of Regina, SK.


In the 1990's BCI started a maintenance divison, and opened a branch office in Alberta providing construction and maintenance services across the prairie provinces. Since the turn of the millenium, BCI has undergone a large expansion and the Saskatchewan office and fabrication facilities now consist of 70,500 square feet situated on twenty-three acres.



Family owned for over 80 years, BCI understands and values the people behind our name.

We work with reputable organizations promoting participation in the trades by women, Indigenous Peoples, veterans, members of racialized minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ2+ individuals, as well as other under-represented groups, ensuring Canada takes a leading role on the construction world stage now and for generations to come.


BCI is committed to creating an industry that empowers a culture of equality and diversity by constantly learning through programs that are local, regional and global.
