«bannnnnemaneaimrnte Lyman Tubeco gets new ownership in February Lyman Tubeco, Canada‘s largest distributor of tubular, pipe and shaftâ€" ing products, has a new owner. In February, Marmon/Keystone Canada, an affiliate of Marmon/Keystone Corp. in the U.S., will take over one of Oakville‘s oldest companies. "Since it was announced only in December, no one has got together yet so we really don‘t know much about it," said Alistair Brown, Lyman‘s conâ€" troller. One of the most desirable pieces of real estate in north Oakville is now being developed by Genstar Development. Oakville Mayor Ann Mulvale cuts ceremonial ribbon opening Westoak Trails development last week as Genstar and builder representatives look on.

It‘s clearly visible in the northâ€" east corner of the Towne I shopping centre and is known as the Tim Hortons Double Drive Thru store. In the 1960s, Lyman Tubeco was one of the first companies to settle in the industrial park on Fourth Line and South Service Road, said Brown. In 1972, the company moved its head office to Oakville.

Since the store has windows on each side, drivers can approach it from two directions. Hence the double driveâ€"through designation. According to Patti Jameson, Corporate Communication Manager of Tim Donut Ltd., the corporate company (Tim Hortons is the name of the stores), coffee is brewed on the premises. But rather than makâ€" ing doughnuts on site, as most Tim Hortons stores do, they are brought in from the nearby main store on Sinclair Road. number of casualties" in jobs when the two companies merged, he thought this would probably be kept to a minimum since a certain level of staff had to be maintained. Since it opened in midâ€" December, the store‘s employees have been busy serving an unspeciâ€" fied number of cups of coffee daily. (Jameson declined to give statistics, declaring these would serve only to benefit the competition.) Certainly, workers from surrounding firms have been quick to realize its exisâ€" tence.
