HI-KALIBRE EQUIPMENT LTD. H i-Kalibre Equipment Ltd., head- quartered in Edmonton, Alberta, designs and manufactures blow- out prevention equipment for the global oil and gas industry, and is a leading innovator in product design and develop- ment. “It was started about 30 years ago by my uncle Glen Rabby and three partners,” says current company President, Pat- rick Rabby. “When the company first started, it was mainly a service com- pany.We did anything for anybody, but our main client was the drilling industry in Alberta. The founders quickly saw a need for quality safety devices for drilling and service rigs, so they developed their own product lines and those products did fairly well. The firm got a reputation for good quality and service. And then, when top drives started to take off, that’s when the company really found its mark.We got involved with some of the early top drive developers in Canada and the U.S., and we developed patented technology for them.” A LEADING INNOVATOR IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY HI-KALIBRE Equipment Ltd.
