What Is Ian Jones Sales (IJS) and What Does It Offer?
Updated
Ian Jones Sales Company (IJS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaFab that serves the Canadian metal fabrication market with sales, service, parts, and tooling. It is the right starting point if you are a fabricator in Canada looking for metal fabricating machinery and ongoing support, rather than a one-time equipment purchase with no service relationship.
What IJS Does
IJS positions itself around a single purpose: helping fabricators build Canada. Its role is to connect Canadian metal fabricators with the machines they need and to keep those machines running through service, parts, and tooling.
The company describes itself as offering:
- Sales — machinery for the metal fabrication market
- Service — support for equipment in the field
- Parts — replacement components
- Tooling — the tooling that keeps machines productive
Because IJS is a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaFab, its product line is tied to MegaFab's brands rather than being an independent dealer carrying many competing manufacturers.
Products: Piranha Ironworkers
The main product family shown on the site is the Piranha Ironworker line. The listed models are:
| Model |
|---|
| Piranha Ironworker P50 |
| Piranha Ironworker P65 |
| Piranha Ironworker P90 |
| Piranha Ironworker P110 |
| Piranha Ironworker P140 |
| Piranha Ironworker PII-88 |
| Piranha Ironworker PII-140 |
The model numbers suggest a range of capacities, but the site material provided does not give tonnage, cutting capacity, or dimensional specifications, so those need to be confirmed directly with IJS before specifying a machine.
Features IJS Highlights
Across the Piranha Ironworker listings, IJS repeats the same feature set:
- Urethane stripping
- Automatic shear hold-downs
- Quick change tooling
- Low blade rake angles
- Six standard work stations
- Ergonomic design
- Clear lines of sight to all tools, including shear blades
IJS frames these features as placing Piranha ironworkers "far above the competition." That is the company's own positioning, not an independently verified comparison — treat it as a claim to test against your own work, not as a settled fact.
Who It Is For
IJS is aimed at Canadian metal fabricators. If you are outside Canada, or if you need a dealer that carries multiple competing brands for side-by-side comparison, IJS's structure as a MegaFab subsidiary is the key constraint to weigh.
If you are in Canada and want a single source for Piranha ironworkers plus service, parts, and tooling, that same structure is the advantage.
Experience
The site states "Over 40 Years," indicating more than four decades in the Canadian metal fabrication market. That history is relevant mainly as a signal of continuity for service and parts — a long-standing presence is more likely to mean support is still available years after a machine is installed.
What to Confirm Before Deciding
The provided site material does not include pricing, lead times, warranty terms, or detailed machine specifications. Before committing, ask IJS directly about:
- Tonnage and capacity for the specific model you are considering
- Availability of parts and tooling for that model
- Service coverage in your region of Canada
- Whether the machine suits the thickness and material types you actually run
The feature list is a starting point for a conversation, not a substitute for matching a machine to your shop's work.
