Helical Works Expands as Key Bulk Handling Supplier for Western Canada

Helical Works Company Ltd. is establishing itself as a significant player in Western Canada's bulk and material handling industry through strategic repositioning of its product lineup. The Abbotsford-based company, a subsidiary of Mainland Machinery, is focusing on serving customers across multiple sectors including ports and terminals, mining and minerals, oil and gas, and industrial agriculture. This expansion addresses a critical gap in the regional market where customers have been seeking local suppliers for quality bulk handling components.

General Manager Paul Hiebert emphasized the company's customer-focused approach, stating that Western Canadian helical customers have been looking for a local supplier they can trust. The company's shift toward offering pre-manufactured helical and conveyor products aims to provide easier access and quicker service while maintaining the high quality standards Helical Works is known for. This strategic move builds upon Mainland Machinery's 50-year legacy of delivering effective industrial solutions, leveraging multi-generational expertise with both Hiebert and his father actively involved in the business.

The company's flexibility and adaptability have been key factors in identifying market needs and creatively aligning products and services to customer requirements. Helical Works is concentrating on supplying three main components to the marketplace: helical flights, replacement augers, and screw conveyors, with plans to complement these product lines with additional components in the future. This comprehensive approach positions the company as a complete supplier for bulk handling needs across Western Canada.

A crucial aspect of Helical Works' strategy is its strong regional focus, with manufacturing, stocking, and delivery all centered in Western Canada. This localized approach is expected to provide significant advantages in supply chain efficiency and customer service for regional businesses. The expansion represents an important development for industries relying on bulk handling equipment, offering potential reductions in lead times and improved operational efficiency through local availability of critical components.

The company's growth could have broader economic implications for the region, potentially contributing to job creation and industrial development in the Abbotsford area. Businesses operating in bulk and material handling across Western Canada now have access to a comprehensive local supplier that can help streamline their supply chains and reduce costs associated with sourcing essential equipment.
