Sandvik has announced plans to develop a new, purpose-built mechanical cutting and parts and services facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, further strengthening its commitment to supporting mining customers across Central and Western Canada.
The new facility will be developed on a portion of the 155-acre (63-ha) development east of Highway 11 and north of Marquis Drive in the North Marquis Industrial Area. Representing an investment of approximately C$51 million ($37.05 million), the 51,000-sq-ft (4,738-sq-m) facility will bring mechanical cutting, parts and services, and aftermarket support competencies together under one roof to drive efficiency and collaboration, Sandvik says.
Groundbreaking is planned for February 2026, with operations expected to begin in the December quarter of 2026, supporting long-term growth across Saskatchewan’s potash and uranium sectors as well as hard-rock mining in gold and copper. In the former category, Sandvik is working on a major delivery of a boring system for BHP’s Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan.
“Building on the momentum of our recent Sudbury announcement, this facility is about expanding capability and readiness,” Peter Corcoran, Vice President, Sales Area Canada, Sandvik Mining, said. “The Saskatoon facility will strengthen our local presence in a key mining region and ensure we have the capacity, infrastructure and expertise to support our customers well into the future.”
The facility will include workflow-optimized workshop bays equipped with dedicated space for equipment maintenance and component repairs, wash bay and staging areas, and robust cranage and clearance to support next-generation mechanical cutting equipment. An integrated warehouse will enhance parts inventory management and aftermarket support to customers across Central and Western Canada.
As Sandvik continues to strengthen its footprint in Canada, the company remains committed to supporting customers through safe, modern infrastructure and world-class service capabilities.
