What Assinck does
Assinck Limited, founded in 1952 and headquartered in Scarborough, Ontario, is a family-owned Canadian manufacturer of custom-engineered equipment for the aggregate, mining, construction, and marine bulk material handling industries. The company designs and builds conveyor systems, stackers (including telescopic and radial configurations), feed systems, portable and modular processing plants, crushers and screens, and specialized marine solutions such as ship loaders and floating boom grab dredges. It also manufactures a complete line of in-house conveyor components including idlers, rollers, pulleys (AR400 wing pulleys, drum pulleys with rubber lagging), safety systems, and automation accessories such as auto-grease systems.
The firm's core technology centers on in-house design, fabrication, and assembly from a 50,000 sq. ft. production facility, enabling integrated quality control across both bespoke plants and standardized wear parts. Notable engineering accomplishments include the TeleStacker Conveyor with up to 5,000 STPH throughput, a 3,000 TPH custom ship loading system for Algoma Steel, a 1,000 TPH twin-screen wash plant for CRH/Dufferin Aggregates, and the first Canadian floating boom grab dredge delivered to James Dick Construction. Technical differentiators focus on durability (AR400 pulleys, sealed-for-life idlers, CEMA Class C components) and operational automation (PLC positioning, HMI control, wireless remotes) rather than AI/ML.
Assinck operates a direct sales model with project-based pricing, delivering custom equipment through consultative engagements that span engineering design, fabrication, installation and commissioning, and ongoing 24/7 field service. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, a catalogued components business, and recurring professional service revenue (engineering, installation, emergency support). The company serves enterprise customers across aggregate producers, mining operations, construction firms, steel producers, and marine/port operators in Canada and the United States, and remains independently held with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding.
