A Small Success Story
Unlike Champion our history is a very short
one...
In June of 1985 we were both employed at Dom-
tar Salt Mine. When they went on strike we
decided to put our idle time to good use. Roth
being licensed millwrights, we decided to go into
business for ourselves. The rest is history.
Although we have not reached the size of
Champion Road Machinery yet, we have
developed a very wide service area and have
more than doubled our staff.
Our future looks bright and we would like to
wish Champion the same for the next 100 years.
