At that time, he had endured what he describes as two uneventful years in university studying English and philosophy, which brought him to the conclusion that university just wasn\u2019t his thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was broke and had no plan for life,\u201d he recalled. \u201cSince I had few options, my father offered me a low-level job at KWH Pipe and the rest is history,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyquist instantly fell in love with the polyethylene pipe industry. He worked hard, often 16-hour days, but only stayed with the company for six months. He then joined a plastic piping company in Toronto. The company was involved in all aspects of the industry from sales, fusion, and municipal to industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years later, just before his 26<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, Nyquist would go out on a limb, borrow some money, quit his job, and start Pipefusion Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, he worked tirelessly with relentless determination trying to make a go of it. He took on projects fusing polyethylene pipe in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Quebec, and on mostly mining projects in Ontario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that time, the company has been involved in piping projects in Hawaii, the North shore of Ellesmere Island, New York City, Virginia and throughout the mining community of northern Ontario and eastern Canada, just to name a few regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has evolved and found new applications for its product. Now, it also manufactures floating docks, pontoons, Transport Canada-approved dock boats, floating boathouses, and other products, including custom plastic pipe fittings. It has become a wholesaler and distributor of high-density polyethylene piping products where it sells, fuses, and installs piping systems in mining and municipal and industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years it has also developed a highly successful dealer program for its docks and pontoons, helping it expand its reach for its docking products in Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It now has dealers in Kingston, Apsley, Midland, Mactier, Magnetawan, Temagami, Elliot Lake, and Sault Ste. Marie, and hopes to expand wherever there is water in both Canada and the United States. And given that all its products are manufactured on Aspdin Road in Huntsville, Pipefusion and the Nydock brand have not only created year-round jobs in the community but have become great ambassadors for the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI became the first independent fusion contractor in the country,\u201d Nyquist told a crowd of about 100 people who gathered at his large farm property close to Pipefusion\u2019s headquarters on June 9, 2022. They were there to celebrate Pipefusion\u2019s 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Terziano-1-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115282\" width=\"232\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Terziano-1-630x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Terziano-1-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Terziano-1-630x947.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Terziano-1.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really want to congratulate you on building such an amazing company. Your product is second to none. You provide excellent employment for our town and your generosity to this community is beyond description. We\u2019ve been so fortunate to have you and your company call Huntsville home,\u201d said Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano at the celebration of Pipefusion\u2019s milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said projects like the Hunters Bay floating trail, the floating docks in downtown Huntsville and the Avery Beach docking facility are just some of the ways the town benefits from everything that Pipefusion and Nydock do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have been so good to the municipality in the works you\u2019ve done. I have to mention the project that happened in 2020 because it was just so simply amazing. Pipefusion won a tendered award to replace some docks in downtown Huntsville, and incidentally, they came in at about half the price of what we had budgeted for the project, and then Jan said, \u2018you know what, how\u2019d it be if I replaced the floating docks too and I\u2019ll do that on my dime.\u2019 How incredible is that?\u201d questioned Terziano to applause from those in present. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Watson.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115279\" width=\"342\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Watson-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Watson-630x419.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/Watson.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dan Watson, executive director of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Others like Dan Watson, executive director of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, were also in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson let those in attendance in on a secret. He told them that when Nyquist says: \u201cI\u2019m not going to say no,\u201d it\u2019s usually a good sign. He spoke about all the work Nyquist has done for the arts community, no matter how off the wall it may have seemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also thanked Pipefusion\u2019s Brad Payne. Payne and his wife Ginny, after many years of working with Nyquist, became company shareholders in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson also commended Pipefusion\u2019s employees, saying that when they show up their knowledge and their generosity is impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson also mentioned Nyquist\u2019s late mother Stina. She was heavily involved in the arts and a strong supporter of the arts community in Huntsville before she died in 2016. He said she\u2019d be proud of her son not only for the success of his company but for the life he\u2019s made for himself. Watson then raised a glass \u201cto not saying no,\u201d and others followed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/DGzJLWK3-BMO.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115287\" width=\"390\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/DGzJLWK3-BMO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/DGzJLWK3-BMO-630x419.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/DGzJLWK3-BMO.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Current and former representatives of the Royal Bank of Canada<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Members of the Royal Bank, where the company has done much of its business through the years, were also in attendance. Frank Berdan, vice president of commercial banking, described Nyquist as someone who has inspired others, created sustainable jobs, supported local events, and given back to his community. He also described Nyquist as a very sincere and emotional individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re extremely proud to have Nydock as one of our clients. My boss often asks me \u2018is there a company somewhere in your portfolio that you think exemplifies what a relationship should be between a bank and a customer?\u2019 And I\u2019m always first to say Nydock because we love working with you guys. We love all the employees. We love everything you do for the community, and I\u2019m really hoping that we could be your banker for another 40 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelle Gardiner, commercial account manager, also with the bank, was holding back tears. \u201cSometimes you walk into a business and you know it\u2019s special\u2026 from day one I knew that what you have built here over the past 40 years is very special,\u201d she said, adding that she and her colleagues have been lucky to be a small part of it. \u201cI admire your out-of-the-box thinking, your drive, your savvy business sense\u2026 you care deeply about your community, and I really want you to know we care deeply about you, too,\u201d she said.
