What Commercial Sand Blasting & Painting does

Commercial Sand Blasting & Painting (CSBP) is a privately held industrial services contractor founded in 1968 and headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The company provides abrasive blasting (sandblasting), industrial protective coating, lining, fireproofing, metalizing, ceramic insulation, fiberglass repair, lead abatement, and NACE-certified inspection services. Its core technology is a fleet of custom-designed and in-house-maintained blasting and painting equipment, supported by 60,000+ square feet of temperature-controlled shop space, the largest overhead doors in the province (up to 45 ft wide and 30 ft tall), and more than 150 mobile field units for on-site deployment. CSBP operates three sites in Saskatoon's North Corman Industrial Park plus a dedicated Esterhazy facility, allowing it to process components ranging from small fittings to oversized pressure vessels and storage tanks.

CSBP serves a vertical mix dominated by potash and uranium mining, oil and gas, chemical processing, pulp and paper, and construction customers across Western Canada. Revenue is project-based and quote-priced, with no recurring software or subscription layer; contracts are secured through enterprise field sales, direct inquiry, and trade reputation. The company is self-described as the largest industrial coating and linings applicator in Saskatchewan and was the first SSPC-QP 1 and SSPC-QP 3 certified contractor in the province, in addition to holding COR Safety Certification in Saskatchewan and Alberta and ISNetworld status. Approximately 120 staff, including journeyman painters, NACE inspectors, and engineering and safety personnel, bring over 700 years of combined industrial coatings experience to the operating model.
