Epiroc said it will move the manufacturing of rotary and raiseboring drilling tools from Langley to its factory in Matehuala, Mexico, where rock drills are also currently produced.
The relocation of production equipment from Canada to Mexico will begin in the third quarter 2025 and the consolidation will be completed by the first quarter 2027, when the production in Langley will be closed. Around 65 employees will be affected and Epiroc.
“We regret that this move will affect our appreciated colleagues in Langley. This action is, however, necessary to optimize how we serve our customers throughout the Americas, while keeping Epiroc strong and agile for the future,” said Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s president and CEO.
“The consolidation will create better and more sustainable conditions for Epiroc to maintain and strengthen its presence throughout the Americas, without compromising on the quality or availability of the products,” said Martin Hjerpe, president of Epiroc’s Tools division.
The business to be moved belongs to the tools division.
