Welcome, Tyler!

Welcome, Tyler!

Stromag is pleased to announce the addition of Tyler Gibbons-Mclean to our team. 


Tyler is a recent graduate of the Welding Technician program at Niagara College of Applied Arts & Technology.  He joins our family as an Apprentice Bowl Tooler and will be learning the trade from Master Bowl Toolers, Tim Barnai and Bob Adamson.  Both Tim and Bob are skilled technicians in the so called “dark art” of bowl tooling and offer over 20 years of expertise.  Due to the skill level needed, Bowl Toolers are a rare breed.  Quite often is takes someone who is artistic and creative to be a successful technician.  As it takes approximately 4-5 years of on-the-job training for someone with basic welding skills to learn the bowl trade, Tyler will work alongside both Tim and Bob to learn this unique craft.

We welcome Tyler and look forward to watching him grow and learn as a valued team member.
