Plenty of smiles from everyone on Tuesday as a well established Saint John company announced its expansion and the creation of 23 jobs because of an investment from Opportunities New Brunswick.
Kelson and Kelson Industrial Group Ltd. President Terry Kelson says the company received $320,000 to help purchase some industrial high-pressure equipment for its industrial coating and removal services.
“Whether we use them in tank internals or tank externals whether it be on structural steel we do a lot of maintenance painting and stuff like that, whether it be in pulp mills, the refinery or LNG,” says Kelson.
The provincial money is expected to help generate more than $2.3 million of capital spending and hiring by the company.
Kelson and Kelson is spending $400,000 of its own money to expand with a new building for operations and storage.
