The machine and fabrication shop in Buchans, Newfoundland and Labrador was started to support the operation of the Buchans mining company that existed from the 1950s to the mid-1980s. As the mine was closed down so to was the machine shop. This had a dramatic economic impact on Buchans and the central region. In the late 1990s, the machine shop was once again revitalized by Steelco with a large General Electric contract but was subsequently closed after the project finished.

The shop has remained closed until Paul Byrne saw an opportunity to rekindle its operation due to the rejuvenated mining sector in central Newfoundland. Paul hopes to enhance the economic development of central and more specifically, Buchans.
