Englobe Corporation, a leading Canadian engineering and environmental services firm, today announced it has finalised a transaction to acquire BESTECH Canada Ltd, the Sudbury-based multidisciplinary engineering firm. It says the strategic move significantly enhances Englobe’s mining expertise and reinforces its commitment to sustainable resource development as demand for critical minerals grows.
Founded in 1995 in Sudbury, Ontario, BESTECH has grown into a global engineering firm with more than 100 professionals delivering specialised engineering services supporting the mining and power industry across the full project lifecycle. BESTECH’s mining expertise spans core disciplines such as infrastructure design, electrical and control systems engineering, and site closure and rehabilitation. It is especially known for its application of ventilation on demand (VOD) technology – its own NRG1-ECO as well as , dewatering expertise and application of its HyLoENVIRO real-time environmental monitoring system for controlling emissions from operations.
It also extends to highly specialised areas like mine hoist systems, having acquired Spencer Engineering in 2023, supporting mining operations from development and expansion through modernisation and long-term operations. In addition, BESTECH brings extensive experience in high-voltage power and transmission design, including projects for major utility clients.
The inclusion of BESTECH significantly expands Englobe’s technical depth in the mining sector, strengthening its ability to deliver integrated solutions for mines, mills, smelters, and refineries. Combined with Englobe’s environmental, geotechnical, materials, and multidisciplinary capabilities, the partnership enhances support for complex, largescale mining projects across Canada.
This partnership reinforces Englobe’s presence in Sudbury, a global mining hub, and deepens its support for Canada’s most active mining markets. By integrating BESTECH’s specialized knowledge into its service offering, Englobe strengthens its position to help clients navigate complex projects, drive innovation, and meet the increasing need for responsibly sourced critical minerals.
