GREATER SUDBURY, ON, Dec. 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Greater Sudbury's position as a global mining and innovation hub was strengthened today with Sandvik's announcement of an over $85 million investment in a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in our community.

Sandvik has been part of the Greater Sudbury community for decades, providing innovative solutions to the mining industry. This significant investment is a strong vote of confidence in our future, creating more than 60 new jobs in Greater Sudbury and helping to retain over 400 existing jobs in Ontario.

"This investment by Sandvik is a testament to the City's commitment to supporting business growth and development. It will support the creation of additional and sustainable high-paying jobs, as well as innovation that secures our place as a global mining hub. The City worked closely with Sandvik and its partners throughout this process to bring this project to fruition. Every new facility and every new job strengthens our economy, and we will continue to champion the kind of growth that builds long-term prosperity for our community," said Mayor Paul Lefebvre.

The City also extends its thanks to Invest Ontario for its capital contributions to this project, which will consolidate Sandvik's two existing Sudbury operations into one modern site, increasing manufacturing capacity and supporting growing demand for battery-electric mining equipment. Site preparation is already underway, with construction expected to begin in spring 2026. Businesses previously located on the site have successfully relocated, paving the way for this flagship project.

This investment reinforces Greater Sudbury as a top destination for companies looking to innovate and grow. Our city offers the land, talent, and resources that global firms need to succeed, and industry leaders continue to choose our community because of our skilled workforce, proximity to mining operations, and strong municipal support for forward-looking development.
