HELICAL WORKS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH GSI, GLOBAL LEADER IN BULK STORAGE SOLUTIONS
ABBOTSFORD, BC, May 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Abbotsford’s Helical Works Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Mainland Machinery, has announced a new strategic partnership with the world’s largest manufacturers of steel farm bins, commercial storage solutions, and grain silos. The bulk storage company, Grain Systems Inc., is known globally as GSI and is based in Paris, Illinois.
The partnership enables Helical Works to provide their customers in bulk material handling with the very best in standardized storage solutions. With GSI’s storage products and Helical’s conveying systems, customers will now be offered a comprehensive solution to their conveying needs, seamless from start to finish.
“We pursued GSI because they are the gold standard for bulk storage,” said Paul Hiebert, President of both Helical Works and Mainland Machinery. “We’re doing everything we can to stay in tune with our customer’s needs. Our goal is always to provide them with the best products in the world at prices they can afford. In this case, our partnership with GSI will give our customers easier access to a wide variety of standard high-quality storage bins, as well as numerous other related products.”
According to Hiebert, Helical and GSI are well aligned, in terms of their mutual commitment to state-of-the-art production and rigorous quality control. “As Helical,we’ve always excelled at customized storage solutions,” he said, “but now GSI gives us access to a whole new inventory of standardized solutions. For our customers, that means quicker installation initially but also quicker maintenance and replacement in the future.”
Helical Works and GSI have a similar story. Both companies are built on more than fifty years of experience in their field of expertise. For Helical, the story begins in 1968 with the emergence of their parent company, Mainland Machinery, a leader in industrial services and steel fabrication that eventually entered the bulk material handling industry as Helical Works Co. For GSI, the company began in 1972 as a small producer of corrugated steel bins and now has become the world’s largest manufacturer of the same, providing quality equipment and services to over seventy countries worldwide.
Whereas GSI has been focused almost exclusively on the agricultural sector, Helical already has established customers in ports and terminals, mining and minerals, biomass and energy, as well as agriculture.
“The growth potential is great for both companies,” said Hiebert, “and we are very aware of how our partnership will bring benefit to the companies that we serve, in terms of better pricing, quicker installation, and comprehensive service. For any company that wants the best integrated solutions for bulk material handling, from conveying systems to storage, we have an offer that is more compelling and more competitive than ever.”
As with everything that Helical Works offers to customers, their products are backed by the expert industrial services of Mainland Machinery, especially for engineered solutions, custom fabrication, and field services.
