ABOUT THE COMPANY
Forty years ago, Wolftek was established by the founders to support British Columbia's forestry sector. By focusing on customer needs and providing everything from consumables to custom-built planers, they earned a reputation for exceptional service and flexibility. When the lumber sector faced a downturn, they expanded into mining, leveraging their expertise to grow in size and experience. Over the years, they diversified into other industries such as energy, maintaining their commitment to excellent customer service and high-quality machinery. In 2005, recognizing their growth, P.G. Mill Supplies rebranded as Wolftek Industries, becoming a multi-industry supply company while still rooted in the lumber industry.
Wolftek combines traditional customer care with modern technology, enabling customers to work outside OEM specifications. With full-service manufacturing facilities and highly qualified staff, Wolftek can bring ideas to life, whether it's a specific piece or improving production speed. They offer regular maintenance, quality OEM products, and custom machining to ensure businesses can focus on growth.
Based in Prince George, B.C., Wolftek has expanded to Edmonton and beyond Western Canada, serving the forestry, mining, and energy sectors globally. Their commitment to customer success means they work around the clock with mills, ensuring machinery operates efficiently. Wolftek continues to grow, offering solutions worldwide from Chile to New Zealand.
