Swákwel Industrial Products

At Swákwel Industrial Products, our roots run deep within the Squamish Nation’s rich history and traditions. For millennia, our people have thrived in harmony with the land, guided by our connection to the earth, community, and spirit. This deep relationship with our environment shapes who we are and inspires our commitment to excellence and innovation in everything we do.

Swákwel, which means “loon” in the Squamish language, was founded with the vision of empowering Indigenous communities through economic opportunities. The loon, a solitary bird of the wilderness, symbolizes tranquility, serenity, and the reawakening of old hopes, wishes, and dreams. It reminds us to follow our aspirations and stay true to our values. Just as the loon is deeply connected to water—a symbol of dreams and consciousness—we are dedicated to making our dreams a reality by supporting the growth and prosperity of our people.

Established to serve the construction industry with high-quality, affordable products, Swákwel is more than just a business; it’s a commitment to our community and future generations. We strive to honour the teachings of our ancestors by fostering sustainable development, promoting innovation, and building strong, lasting relationships with our clients.

Our story is one of resilience, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence. As we navigate the challenges of today’s world, we remain steadfast in our mission to uplift the Squamish Nation and contribute to the broader Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Together, we are building a future where our traditions and values continue to thrive, guiding us in our journey toward prosperity and empowerment for all.
