Ford Machinery Supply has been, selling and trading woodworking and metalworking machinery and tools for 75 years.
Started in 1936 by Jack Dubiner, in the heart of what was then Toronto’s machinery district at King and Jarvis streets, the company is still family owned and operated - spanning four generations - after all these years. Two years after he started, Jack hired his father Max and the family tradition was born.
Rob Dubiner joined his father and brother Barry in 1969 as the family business continued to grow.
In 1991, Rob moved the business to Richmond Hill. Today, his daughter Paula, who joined the business after taking millwrighting courses, has started to run the company.
