Timmins Mechanical invests $4M into brand new West Timmins Facility
West Timmins is on everyone’s exploration radar these days. That hasn’t escaped the supply sector either, as companies like Timmins Mechanical Solutions have carved out a place to serve the mining industry.
Company President Chad Tolonen and his affable Director of Sales and Business Development, Ed “Eddy” Lamontagne, were joined by family and staff members at the company’s Highway 101 West grand opening in late May.
With their new location as the backdrop, TMS took the opportunity to announce their appointment as the Northern Ontario dealer for SANY Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of the SANY Group. SANY is a Forbes 1000, and Financial Times Top 500 ranked brand, and the third largest construction and heavy machinery manufacturer in the world.
“With the expanded facility, we will be able to significantly increase our capacity to undertake large scale repairs and refurbishments of all makes and models of equipment while introducing customers in Northern Ontario to the SANY brand,” said company president Chad Tolonen.
“This new dealership reflects a natural extension of the company’s mission, resources, and technical expertise into areas that complement our current heavy equipment repair and refurbishment services,” he added.
“We’re excited to work with Chad and his team and be able to further expand the availability of SANY machines to companies and contractors in the Northern Ontario region,” said Suman Mukherjee, Sr. Vice President & Country Manager – SANY Canada.
“Our partnership with TMS has come at the right time as we expand our investments and reach in Canada through the establishment of the Canadian subsidiary with the setup of the Canadian Head Office, Parts Warehouse Machine Yards and a local Canadian team focused on serving the Canadian customers. We stand true to our motto, “Serving Canadians, In Canada, For Canada.”
The new TMS facilities feature 7 bays, two 10-ton bridge/cranes, 24 ft door clearance and can accommodate large equipment such as Cat 785 trucks and 992 loaders.
TMS offers expert level repairs, refurbishments, and maintenance to all types of heavy equipment across Ontario and Quebec. SANY is a global manufacturer of industry-leading construction and mining equipment, port and oil drilling machinery, and renewable wind-energy systems. Currently, SANY has built 25 manufacturing bases and Global R&D centers across China, India, the USA, Germany and Brazil. It sells and services its products through 6 sales regions and operates in 160 countries worldwide.
