January 6, 2026 - Sandvik has announced plans to develop a new, purpose-built mechanical cutting and parts and services facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

According to a company news release, the new facility will be developed on a portion of the 155-acre development east of Highway 11 and north of Marquis Drive in the North Marquis Industrial Area. Representing an investment of approximately $51 million, the 51,000-square-foot facility will aim to bring mechanical cutting, parts and services and aftermarket support together to help drive efficiency and collaboration.

Groundbreaking is reportedly planned for February 2026, with operations expected to begin in Q4 2026, supporting long-term growth across Saskatchewan’s potash and uranium sectors as well as hard-rock mining in gold and copper.

“Building on the momentum of our recent Sudbury announcement, this facility is about expanding capability and readiness,” said Peter Corcoran, vice president of sales area Canada at Sandvik Mining. “The Saskatoon facility will strengthen our local presence in a key mining region and ensure we have the capacity, infrastructure and expertise to support our customers well into the future.”

Sandvik says the facility will include “workflow-optimized workshop bays equipped with dedicated space for equipment maintenance and component repairs, wash bay and staging areas and robust cranage and clearance to support next-generation mechanical cutting equipment.” Additionally, an integrated warehouse will try to enhance parts inventory management and aftermarket support to customers across Central and Western Canada.
