Paul B. Double founded Canamer International, Inc.
in 1973. Previously
employed by a major salt producer, Double was interested in adequately
covering
large outdoor piles of salt and other commodities to protect them from
deterioration
and prevent environmental pollution. After developing a covering system
and obtaining patents for it in both the United States and Canada, Canamer
expanded its operations to include covers for a variety of bulk commodities
for government, agricultural and chemical industries.
Canamer has grown steadily and developed markets in a number of products
related to the fabrics industry. In 1982, the company received the trademarks
on the specialty fabrics Polycan and AgriGard. In 1990, Canamer obtained
patents to update commodities covers that improved aeration control
and reduced costs for grain storage. As a leader in commodity storage,
Canamer is continuing to develop workable and cost effective systems
for the future.
Since 1979 Canamer has been active in fabricating and installing containment
caps. We installed our first geomembrane containment liner in 1985,
and since then we have expanded our crew training and geomembrane vendors
to include VLDPE, HDPE, CPE, EPDM and PVC. We worked with Poly-America,
Inc. in 1988 on the installation of a state-of-the-art, 7-layer component
synthetic landfill liner in Carroll County, Maryland, that used over
1.5 million square feet of geomembrane. In 1991, Canamer installed liners
in Hopkins, Minnesota, protecting a residential neighborhood from methane
gas coming from a landfill closed 10 years earlier. The next year, we
provided fire pit containment liners in Alaska and water conservations
flowage liners in Oregon. Since then, we’ve completed a number
of unique environmental projects.
Recognized for quality workmanship, solid teamwork and experience with
a variety of products, Canamer will continue to expand its operations
and provide a secure future for our employees and support to customers.
