Biography

Dr John Fairfield Thompson was a metallurgist, scientist and administrator whose early appreciation of the unique qualities of nickel brought immense benefits to the world as well as outstanding success to the vast enterprise he has directed. See biographyical article.[1]
The town of Thompson, named after Inco's chairman at the time, Dr. John F. Thompson (1881 - 1968), was founded following the December 3, 1956 agreement between the Government of Manitoba and Inco Limited. On March 25, 1961, Inco formally opened the first integrated nickel mining-smelting-refining plant in the Western Hemisphere (in Thompson) and the second largest nickel-producing operation in the world (after Inco's Sudbury operations).
