DJB Mining Products & Services Ltd.

What DJB Mining Products & Services Ltd. does

DJB Mining Products & Services Ltd. is a privately held, founder-operated mining equipment manufacturer and field services provider based in Timmins, Ontario. Founded in 2010 by President Daniel Brunet and Vice-President Martin Paquin, the company operates from a 27,000 sqft facility acquired in January 2018 and serves underground and surface mining operators across North Eastern Ontario. Its product portfolio centers on custom-manufactured buckets, complete bucket lip systems, and wear components (wear plates, lip components, teeth) sourced from MTG Castings, supplemented by a line of Underground John Deere Tractors built to customer specifications.

The company's service offering includes portable align boring, welding, and bucket fabrication, delivered through both in-shop consultations and 24/7 onsite field response with float service capability. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct engagement with mining and construction clients, supported by trade show presence at PDAC and the Canadian Tradex Mining Expo, plus community involvement through the Timmins Chamber of Commerce. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (custom buckets, lips, components, tractors) and professional services (repair, modification, fabrication, align boring), with quote-based pricing and no public rates.

The business has accumulated 12,000+ completed projects and 200+ clients since 2010, and has received regional recognition including the 2017 NOVA Business of the Year award, the 2018 NOBA Entrepreneur of the Year award, and a 2019 National Bank Innovation Award nomination. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional funding, and reports roughly seven named management and staff roles supplemented by actively recruited trades personnel through apprenticeship programs.
