Canadian Weigh Systems Ltd. is a privately owned company established in 1977. We are dedicated to the sales and service of scale systems to a variety of industries.

Who We Are...

Jim Reid, president of Canadian Weigh Systems began his career in the electronics industry with Streeter Amet Corporation of Grays Lake, Illinois. He was hired as a service engineer responsible for equipment service and installation in the Buffalo area.

Jim was soon able to use his extensive knowledge and became responsible for the service and installation of equipment in New York State and Canada. He then moved on, joining the sales force and was responsible for the sales in Canada and became one of Streeter Amets' top salesmen.

In 1969 Jim was requested to open the first Canadian Streeter Amet Branch operation in Mississauga. Extensive inroads were accomplished selling electronic weighing to the industrial market, which include Dofasco and Stelco.

Jim then arranged to open Canadian Weigh Systems Ltd. in 1977, with the blessing of the Streeter Amet's President. CWS was open for business, selling for the most part, Streeter Amet equipment customized by CWS. Since that time, Canadian Weigh Systems Ltd. has grown to designing and supplying a line of standard equipment and customized systems.
