B & B Automation Equipment Inc. is a
machine tool company that was formed in 1991 by the
current President and owner, William W Houston. Much
of the initial activity was fairly routine machine shop
work, but in 1994 the company began to focus on designing
and building customized one-off turnkey systems, most
of which were for the automotive parts manufacturers.
The company occupies 6,500 sq. ft. design (CAD), machine shop and fabrication facility in Brampton. Revenues in fiscal 2001 were in the $1,000,000,00 to $1,100.000.00 range.
