Whitby Abrasives — Serving Local Trades Across Ontario

Dryden is a forestry and pulp-and-paper town in northwestern Ontario's Kenora District, best known for its Resolute Forest Products pulp mill — one of Ontario's major forest products operations — and its role as a supply and service centre for the surrounding forest products and mining industries. Dryden's economy is anchored by the pulp mill and its supply chain, plus construction and municipal services for the surrounding region. The Highway 17 Trans-Canada corridor connects Dryden to Kenora to the west and Thunder Bay to the east. Whitby Abrasives is approximately 1,550 km east on Highway 17 and the 400.

Trusted by Dryden's Pulp Mill Maintenance Trades, Forestry Operations & Construction Contractors

Dryden's pulp-and-paper industry generates consistent demand for industrial grinding wheels, cutting discs, and abrasives for mill equipment maintenance, conveyor and press roll fabrication, and process equipment repair. Forestry contractors and bush operations in the Kenora District supply chain require abrasives for equipment maintenance. Construction contractors serving Dryden's residential and municipal infrastructure add everyday cutting demand.
