Sudbury, ON — Northern Uniform Service, a local uniform service provider, is excited to announce the opening of its new depot in Timmins, ON.

Timmins Depot

The Timmins depot is anticipated to begin full operation in the summer of 2024, as a centralized distribution hub for customers in the Timmins mining market, a market that Northern Uniform has been servicing for 40 years.

As a family-owned and operated business since 1901, Northern Uniform has been the primary uniform rental service provider for the mining industry and related services in Northern Ontario over the past five decades.

“We’re excited to finally see the end of development and move on to actual operation out of our new facility – it’s been a long time coming.  Having a home in Timmins is better for us, better for our customers, and helps shrink our environmental footprint while expanding our reach.  It’s truly a win on all levels.”

Chad Laframboise – General Manager at Northern Uniform Service

When the mining industry began inquiring about the addition of reflective striping on coveralls to boost the safety of their underground workers, Northern Uniform played an integral part of the development of high visibility and apparel for the mining industry.

“The development of exclusive products for specific markets is tedious and complex, but we embrace this challenge.  We’ve seen how working with customers through the process has mutual advantages.  It breeds a collaborative culture of continual improvement, giving employees and businesses more to be proud of than just basic compliance with regulatory requirements.  It’s rewarding.”

Chad Laframboise – General Manager at Northern Uniform Service

As one of the richest mineral-producing cities in the world, Timmins lies at the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt—which contains some of the world’s largest deposits of silver, gold, copper, zinc, and platinum group metals and industrial minerals.
