Grew Manufacturing is a popular name for construction of Grew vessels with early beginning in 1882 as Gidley Boat Works. In 1920, Arthur Grew took over the boat business and renamed the business, which is located in Ontario, Canada. Grew Manufacturing expanded into a modern recreational boat producer of Bowrider and Cuddy cruisers, powered by outboard and inboard motors. Created in fiberglass, Grew's later vessels were built in modern facilities.[1] In 2011, the Grew employed about 25 people.[2]

Early history

On the shores of Georgian Bay in 1882, the Gidley Boat Works began manufacturing wooden boats. Craftsman Arthur Grew from Penetangushine in the late 1920s took over the company and succeeded in expanding it, while enlarging and updating its product line.

Launches

Receivership

During the winter of 2011. Don Vanderstadt, the company's sales manager, was injured from gun fire and other employees fled the boatyard as result of hearing that shots had been fired. The team had returned from the Toronto International Boat Show. Owner and President David Cameron died after an exchange of gunfire with police Feb 11th, 2011, near Kemble.
