SGS in Canada

SGS Canada began in 1948 as a specialist provider of services for the agricultural industry. Today, our operations across Canada have rapidly evolved into highly technical service provision, conducting precise and accurate analytical testing, such as DNA fingerprinting and metals speciation for numerous business lines.

We maintain a strong presence as a top-quality service provider at all major ports and trading hubs across Canada, and are known across the world for excellence in exploration and mining. We have a strong presence in the oil sands in Fort McMurray and have an established network of Centres of Excellence for Life Sciences. We have offices and laboratories throughout Canada, including Mississauga, ON, Lakefield, ON, Burnaby, BC, Calgary AB, Winnipeg MB and Montreal, QC.

In Vancouver, our 63,000 ft2 (5,852 m2) facility supports the expansion of strategic high-growth businesses, such as minerals geochem, minerals metallurgy and agriculture agrifood. The facility enables us to provide an unrivalled laboratory service in Vancouver, the ‘World Mining Capital’.

In Cochrane Ontario, we operate three Rocklabs Automated Batch Mills (ABMs). This is the first SGS site in North America to operate exclusively with ABMs. The facility also boasts a state-of-the-art high throughput fire assay system, employing the latest automated fluxing technology that is becoming the standard for quality and safety in assay laboratories worldwide.
