Abrasive Tools & Cutting Supplies for Thunder Bay, Ontario

Thunder Bay is northwestern Ontario's largest city and economic centre, a port city on Lake Superior serving as the gateway to the northwest for forest products, grain, and mineral resource industries. Thunder Bay's industrial base includes significant forest products processing — paper mills and sawmills — port and grain handling operations, and mining service for the Ring of Fire and northwestern Ontario mineral districts. The city's position as the Trans-Canada corridor's northwestern Ontario hub makes it a logistics and supply centre for the region. Whitby Abrasives is approximately 1,400 km east on Highway 17 and the 400.

Trusted by Thunder Bay's Forestry & Paper Industry Trades, Mining Service Operations & Construction Contractors

Mining service operations supporting northwestern Ontario's gold and base metal mining industry require heavy-duty grinding and cutting consumables. Construction and heavy civil contractors serving Thunder Bay's infrastructure and residential development add everyday cutting and grinding demand.
