About Pinchin.

Your Trusted Consultant.

Since 1981, Pinchin Ltd. has set the standard in environmental, engineering, health & safety, and building science consulting. With a team of more than 1,000 professionals and 42+ offices across Canada, we offer expert solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

A Symbol of Our Roots.

At Pinchin, the humble apple represents our roots in client care and environmental responsibility. Our founder, Dr. Don Pinchin, grew up on his family’s apple orchard, J.H. Pinchin & Sons, in Streetsville, Ontario, Canada. As a gesture of appreciation, he gifted our clients with apples grown by his family. As the company grew, the apple became a symbol of our commitment to health, safety, and giving back.

From Humble Beginnings
