HUDSON Boat Works
Sporting Goods ManufacturingCanada51-200 Employees
HUDSON Boat Works manufactures Olympic-class rowing shells and is a world leader in the development of racing hull shapes, carbon composite construction, and innovative components specific to the sport of rowing. HUDSON boats have won 69 medals at the Olympic and World Rowing Championships since 1984. In the Men's 8 competition at the 2004 Athens Olympics, the World Record of 5:19 for the Olympic distance of 2000m, which still stands today, was set in a HUDSON. This is quite an accomplishment for a company that started out with two employees in a garage. HUDSON now has 50 employees and a state-of-the-art plant next door to Lake Fanshawe. HUDSON Boat Works has transformed from a small domestic company to competing on the world stage but is still proud to say built in London, Ontario.
