SUDBURY, ONT. \u2014 Global engineering group Sandvik is investing more than $85 million to establish a new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Greater Sudbury that will sustain 400 existing jobs and create more than 60 new jobs, the province reports.<\/p>\n
The new 135,000-square-foot facility, which broke ground earlier this month, will deliver double the existing workshop capacity and incorporate workshop areas, expanded office space, welding facilities, a paint booth, BEV-dedicated infrastructure, and a technology-focused simulator area for equipment operators and maintenance training purposes.<\/p>\n
It will replace Sandvik\u2019s long-standing location at 100 Magill St. in Lively, which has supported customers for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n
The design prioritizes circularity, waste reduction, energy efficiency and efforts to minimize environmental impact, Sandvik notes.<\/p>\n
To support of this investment, Ontario is providing up to $4 million in funding through the\u00a0Invest Ontario Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new facility scheduled to officially open in Q3 2027.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
