We distribute welding supplies, welding & mining equipment, painting/coating supplies, steel supplies, bucket supplies, and PPE in the entire NWT. All these products are used and proven in our own manufacturing facility before being delivered to you. And since we manufacture them ourselves, our cost savings are passed to you.

We have a 12000sq. feet shop space with vacant properties, heavy equipment, and mobile operations. So we can easily transport the goods to your site via the Winter Road if required. We also have our own dedicated machine shop with Computerized (CNC) lathes, mills, plasma cutters, roller, brake, and saw. This enables us to complete work much faster than the other providers. There are some jobs that would take a person about 8 hours, but we can deliver it in just 1 hour.

Our team receives regular training to make sure they stay updated with the latest equipment and standards.
