A Sudbury company is investing close to $10 million to upgrade and expand its manufacturing facility in order to better serve mining clients around the globe.
Plans are in the works at JENNMAR Canada to relocate equipment from one of its U.S. locations, purchase new robotic equipment for the shop floor, and add 8,500 square feet onto its existing 30,000-square-foot facility in the northeast end of the city.
The company, a subsidiary of Pittsburgh-based JENNMAR, manufactures ground support and tunnelling products primarily for the mining industry.
David Hurd, the company’s managing director, said the expansion marks significant growth for the company, which — after a six-year absence — returned to Sudbury to set up shop in 2020 with a small team of 10 people.
“It really is a great story. And we’re proud. We’re proud of what we’ve done.”
