McCoy Global

Who Are We?

Over a century ago, blacksmith Henry McCoy established the Edmonton Auto Spring Works in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Back in 1914, the name McCoy meant a commitment to quality; and that, along with a desire to continually innovate, is what we stand for today.

KEEPING AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Always ahead of the curve, we’ve evolved from auto springs, axle manufacturing, trucking, and trailers, to hydraulic power tongs, advanced engineering for wellbore integrity, data acquisition for harsh environments, and cloud-based automated Smart technology solutions. Our evolution has been relentless – just the way we love it.

LEADING CHANGE

All along the way, we have aggressively embraced change to support our customers at every turn, anticipating their needs and delivering highly customized solutions. It is no surprise that our company today bears little resemblance to the blacksmith shop of 1914.

AN UNWAVERING FOCUS

Yet it is also no surprise that our spirit remains fundamentally unchanged: our focus on quality and customization ensures the products and services we provide live up to our promises, so you can live up to yours.
