About Us
Artspan is an industry leading manufacturer of patented structural insulated steel panel products. Our patented insulated metal panels provide exceptional structural building envelope solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Our Company History
Our history began in 2006 when Arthur Paetkau founded Eagle Mountain Structural Insulated Panel Systems, also known as EMSIPS. Passionately, Art pursued the development of the highest quality insulated metal panels, pioneering the implementation of these patented insulated wall panels into both residential and commercial building systems.
On March 1st, 2017, WGI acquired the manufacturing and inventory assets of EMSIPS, creating space for the growth in production capabilities. Along with new ownership came the chance to solidify our identity as an industry-leading manufacturer of patented quality insulated steel panel products. Our current business name – Artspan Inc. – accurately describes the function of our patented panels, but also pays tribute to the outstanding efforts and successes of our company’s original founder and owner, the late Arthur (Art) Paetkau.

Artspan’s products are designed, manufactured, and distributed out of our 32,000 square foot facility located in Winkler, Manitoba, Canada.
