Atlas Copco recently unveiled their new state-of-the-art production and training facility on Ferris Drive during a three-day event and people travelled from all around the world to see what the excitement was about.

“This facility has already furthered our reach and global output and we were thrilled to show it off to our employees, mining industry peers, and the people of North Bay” said Jeff Hagar, GM Atlas Copco Exploration Products.

The unveiling of the facility was organized as a three-day event to accommodate their different audience groups and agendas. The first day was reserved for upper management and industry leaders, and included an authentic Northern Ontario experience for the numerous foreign delegates – a chartered train excursion to Temagami complete with food and entertainment. The second day was reserved for Atlas Copco vendors and suppliers and included an outdoor lunch and facility tours, much like the third day, which was open to the public and included a barbeque, family entertainment and an inflatable playground.

A true global leader in the mining industry, Atlas Copco is widely regarded as the leading provider of industrial productivity solutions. With headquarters in Sweden, the group’s global reach spans more than 150 markets and offers products and services that range from compressed air and gas equipment, generators, construction and mining equipment, industrial tools and assembly systems, to related aftermarket and rental.

The new facility is a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art building that incorporates all the latest technology and tools into a true showcase of the innovations and progress continually being made in this fast growing industry.

“The event was a huge success and we were humbled to see our industry peers and leaders, many of whom travelled from all over the world to be there, excited by the potential of our new facility,” said Jeff Hagar, GM Atlas Copco Exploration Products.

Atlas Copco would also like to acknowledge and thank Clark Marketing Communications, the City of North Bay, and all businesses that helped make this event so memorable.
