McRobert Springs Ltd. is a Canadian manufacturer of leaf springs and distributor of suspension components, based at 575 Conestoga Blvd in Cambridge, Ontario.[1] The company operated under the French name Ressorts McRobert Ltée and was affiliated with Canadian Spring Operations Ltd.[1] Public records indicate the company was voluntarily dissolved on December 12, 2002.[1]
Design and History
Documentation of McRobert Springs’ visual identity is extremely limited. The company’s operations are recorded in municipal environmental records for Cambridge, Ontario, which list McRobert Springs Ltd. at 575 Conestoga Blvd with a plant size of 14,000 square feet and five employees.[2] The same records also reference a separate entry for McRobert Springs Ltd. established in 1985 with a larger facility of 86,000 square feet.[2]
No primary sources documenting the company’s logo, its designer, or a 1963 design date could be located in this research. Claims attributing a 1963 logo to a designer named Allan Harrison, or describing its visual characteristics, cannot be verified against available records. The company’s business description confirms its focus on the distribution of suspension components and the manufacture of leaf springs,[1] but no official or archival source describing its logo design was found.
Given the absence of verifiable documentation, the specific appearance, designer, and design history of the McRobert Springs logo remain unconfirmed. Readers seeking the company’s original branding materials would need to consult corporate archives, provincial business registries, or historical trade publications from the Canadian automotive parts industry.
