Selling Quality Marine Parts Since 1949
Anthony-Keats Marine Ltd was formed in 1949 by Pete Anthony when he purchased the exhisting Murray McLean Company. After serving in the Navy for WW II Pete moved from Toronto to Windsor where he was training as an accountant while working for Charlie Stephens. One of C.W. Stephen’s clients was the Murray McLean Company of Wheatley, Ontario. After spending time at the Murray McLean Co. Pete decided he would like to be part of the marine industry rather than be an accountant.
Pete later purchased the company from Murray McLean with the help of Charlie Stephens and J.Duncan Keats. Together they formed Anthony-Keats Marine Ltd in 1949.
Originally, Anthony-Keats Marine was an exclusive Chrysler Marine Engine Distributor. In later years Crusader, Perkins, Velvet Drive, Sherwood, Westerbeke, Universal, Jabsco and Paragon became added product lines for the company.
Anthony-Keats Marine was owned by Pete Sr. until his untimely death in September of 1979. Pete Jr. has purchased the family company and continues to run it today.
