Technica Mining, a Sudbury-based underground mining and construction contractor, has big plans. For 15 years, the company has established itself as a contractor with mining giants Vale and GlencoreXstrata.
“Working for two of the top-tier mining companies in the world has really allowed us to build our system,” says Technica Mining's founder and CEO, Mario Grossi. “We're going to take everything we've learned over the last 15 years and will diversify geographically.”
The company, which has completed work at almost every head frame in the Sudbury basin, is expanding its reach to Thunder Bay, Wawa, White River, Red Lake and Thompson, Man., and is even looking outside Canada for opportunities.
Grossi started the company in 1999 with around six employees, and has since expanded to include 372 workers and staff.
Technica Mining initially focused on underground construction, but has since added mechanized and non-mechanized development as well as raise work to its portfolio.
Throughout the company's growth, safety has always been the number one priority at Technica Mining, says Grossi.
In 2013, the company had the lowest incident rate of all Ontario’s major mining contractors.
