From the heart of Sudbury to the farthest reaches of the globe, Fuller Industrial has spent 20 years contributing to the mining and supply industry. Founded in 2004 by Jeff Fuller, this local, family-owned company specializes in the design, supply, and maintenance of piping systems, with a niche focus on abrasion-resistant piping to keep plants running smoothly.
Fuller Industrial’s roots trace back to the late 1970s when Jeff’s father, Bill Fuller, started Abraflex during the birth of the now world-famous Sudbury mining supply cluster. This company, built through generations, highlights the strong entrepreneurial spirit and dedication inherent in Sudbury. Today, Jeff’s children, Steven, Alexis, and Liam, are actively involved, marking Fuller Industrial as a third-generation family business.
Employing between 50 and 100 people, depending on project demands, the company prides itself on its supportive, “Partner of Choice” culture. Over 50% of its employees have ten years or more of tenure, reflecting a stable and loyal workforce.
Like many mining service and supply companies in Northern Ontario, Fuller Industrial exports over 50% of its output beyond the Sudbury region, with 30% reaching international markets. These exports not only showcase Sudbury’s industrial expertise on the global stage but also play a crucial role in supporting the local economy. Through both local sales and international exports, Fuller Industrial provides stable, well-paying jobs, contributing to economic growth within the community.
This success is achieved through a combination of a dedicated team and advanced technology. The company utilizes state-of-the-art engineering design software and boasts one of the most robotic and automated pipe spool fabrication and rubber lining plants in North America.
Fuller Industrial’s products have been delivered to every continent except Antarctica, demonstrating the global impact of Sudbury’s industrial capabilities. With the third generation now overseeing day-to-day operations, Fuller Industrial is well-positioned for continued growth and success.
As Fuller Industrial celebrates this significant milestone, the company reflects on its rich history and looks forward to a bright future.
MineConnect congratulates Jeff Fuller, his family, and the entire team at Fuller Industrial for 20 years of innovation, dedication, and excellence.
