Our Story

Founded in 1978 in Abbotsford, BC, Overlanders Manufacturing began fabricating light-duty truck parts. Through a strong commitment to quality and craftsmanship, it evolved into a precision sheet metal manufacturer serving customers across Western Canada and the United States. In 2006, Overlanders joined Exchange Income Corporation, enabling long-term investment and sustainable growth. In 2025, the company expanded further by joining forces with Hansen Industries, significantly strengthening fabrication, machining, and stamping capabilities. Together we operate as a leading metal manufacturing group rooted in British Columbia and built for the future.
