Sandvik Breaks Ground on New Facility in Sudbury, Ontario

December 15, 2025

Sandvik announces the groundbreaking of its new state-of-the-art facility at 2555 Maley Drive in Greater Sudbury, marking a significant investment in the future of its Canadian operations, with the official ceremony held on December 5, 2025.

Sandvik is investing $85 million CAD in the project, supported by up to $4 million CAD in provincial grant funding through the Invest Ontario Fund, subject to execution of a definitive agreement. This investment is designed to stimulate economic growth, strengthen industrial capabilities across the province, and support the creation of 61 new jobs. The new facility will replace Sandvik’s long-standing location at 100 Magill Street in Lively, which has supported customers for more than 40 years.

Construction is expected to begin in December 2025, with the new facility scheduled to officially open in Q3 2027. Situated on 115 acres, the site will feature a 135,000-square-foot facility and will support up to 400 employees once operational.

The new Sudbury facility has been designed to meet increasing customer demand for equipment maintenance, electrification capabilities, efficient service turnaround, and capacity for long-term growth. The investment will deliver double the existing workshop capacity and incorporate modern workshop areas, expanded office space, welding facilities, a paint booth, BEV-dedicated infrastructure, and a technology-focused simulator area for equipment operators and maintenance training purposes. The design prioritizes circularity, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and efforts to minimize environmental impact.

Peter Corcoran, Vice President of Sales Area Canada for Sandvik Mining, said, “This new facility marks an important step forward in how we support our people and customers across Canada. We are building a modern, collaborative and future-ready work environment that reflects the rapid changes taking place in today’s mining industry. With expanded capabilities, enhanced infrastructure, and a strong focus on our core products, which align with Canada’s priorities around electrification and sustainability, this investment strengthens our ability to remain a trusted partner for our customers for many years to come.”

“As one of the most diversified manufacturing sectors in North America, Ontario continues to drive advancements that strengthen productivity and competitiveness across our critical industries,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Sandvik’s investment is not only a testament to the reliability and resilience of Ontario’s world-class workforce, but a great example of how investments in critical infrastructure will strengthen domestic supply chains and position the province at the forefront of industry transformation.”

Paul Lefebvre, Mayor of Greater Sudbury, said, “We are thrilled with Sandvik’s $85.1 million investment in Greater Sudbury, which reflects not only their long-standing commitment to our community but also their confidence in our position as a global hub for mining innovation and mineral development. Their decision to grow their business here speaks to the strength of our workforce and Greater Sudbury’s role as a place where advanced mining equipment, digital solutions, and sustainable technologies can be developed and built. This project not only secures and creates good jobs, but it also reinforces a shared vision for a strong and innovative Greater Sudbury for years to come.”

Khawar Nasim, CEO of Invest Ontario, said, “MRO facilities like Sandvik’s are an indispensable part of a resilient and sustainable supply chain. As companies increasingly turn to Ontario for mining and critical minerals, we are working to ensure the ecosystem is safe, performant and future-ready. We’re proud to work with companies helping to accelerate the adoption of next-generation mining technologies in the province.”

As Sandvik continues strengthening its footprint in Canada, the company remains committed to supporting customers with safe, modern infrastructure and world-class service capabilities.
