Since those first nickel and copper discoveries, Sudbury has evolved from a simple mining community into the world’s most diversified mining supply and services cluster. We are home to the largest integrated mining complex in the world that features nine operating mines, two mills, two smelters, and a nickel refinery employing a combined 5,500 people. Our cluster also consists of more than 300 mining supply firms employing more than 12,000 people and generating approximately $4 billion in annual exports.
Sudbury’s leadership position in the Canadian and global mining industry has not gone unnoticed. Increasingly, international firms view Sudbury as an ideal base of operations, allowing further expansion of this influential sector. Companies that want to be close to the action have established Canadian offices in Sudbury. These include mining equipment manufacturers, engineering firms and mining contractors.
