Modern Railings & Metalcraft Ltd.

Established in 1947, Modern Railings & Metalcraft Ltd. (MRM) continues to be one of the top custom metal fabrication plants in the GTA providing our custom fabrications throughout North America.

Our fabrications are used by the industrial, commercial and institutional construction industries. When you work with MRM, our management team ensures costs are kept low and the schedule stays on track.

Our business model is built on two simple foundations – superb craftsmanship and excellent customer service.

In January 1947, Thomas H. Lilley started Modern Railings & Metalcraft Ltd. and began selling porch railings door to door, as a sideline from his tool and die making business. In 1967, his son Kenneth took the reins and helped move the company in a new direction by focusing on miscellaneous and custom metal fabrications, architectural metals and light structural steel.

In 2008, we built a new office and fabrication plant in Aurora, Ontario. Our new plant encompasses almost 50,000 square feet and includes a new modern blast cleaning machine and painting facility, along with a separate enclosed area for working with stainless steel and aluminum materials. Our shop and field employees are members of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers.
