OUR STORY
Jarvis’s story began in 1901, when Charles L. Jarvis purchased a small hardware maker in Hartford, Connecticut. The company originally produced simple household tools like nutcrackers and nutpicks, but its focus on precision machining laid the foundation for bigger things to come. By the mid-20th century, under new leadership and growing expertise, Jarvis shifted toward meat processing equipment — a move that would reshape the industry.
In the 1950s, engineer Vincent Volpe helped pioneer the company’s first breakthrough: a pneumatic hide-removal knife that revolutionized cattle processing by replacing slow, manual skinning with a faster and more efficient method. From that moment on, Jarvis became synonymous with innovation, developing humane stunning devices, rugged power saws, and eventually robotics that redefined efficiency and safety in meat plants worldwide.
Today, through Jarvis Canada, this legacy continues. We bring over a century of engineering excellence and family leadership to the Canadian meat industry, offering everything from handheld tools to advanced automation systems. Our story is one of constant reinvention — always striving to make food processing safer, faster, and more sustainable.
