In 1976, Interco Fabrications was founded by Phil Burrett and his brother in law, Bob Kempt, as a welding and heavy truck garage. In the mid 70s when trucking was a very energizing and vital part of the economy, when fuel prices were reasonable, two brothers in law tapped into this growing industry. Over time, as the economic environment was changing, so did Interco Fabrications. In 1990, during a fishing trip to Manitoba, they formed a friendship and a business relationship, with Hughey McInnis, a local dock builder. They brought his ideas and skills home to the Kawartha Lakes and have steadily grown the company. In the early 2000s, Phil’s son, Ben joined Interco and was mentored by his uncle Bob. Ben brought youth, energy and passion to Interco. Today, Interco Fabrications is a household name in Canadian cottage country.
