About Us: Our Mission, Vision & Values

Milman Industries Inc. is rebranded to Mansour Group Inc. and our group of companies is consolidated into four distinct divisions. 

Phase 6, Mansour Canadian Rail begins yet another expansion of Mansour Group’s spur line. With this addition to the spur, the total length of spur is over 4km. This expansion is due to the expanding needs of our customers in the fuel and LPG industries.

Milad Mansour immigrated to Canada from a small rural village in Northern Lebanon. In 1971, he began his career working at P&W Supply and Repair in Sudbury, sharpening and repairing drill bits and drill steel for the local mining industry. He was then hired in 1973 to work full time at INCO in their Matte Processing plant. In 1975 he left INCO to pursue P&W Supply and Repair as its new owner.

Milad established Mansour Rockbolting Inc. in Coniston, Ontario at INCO’s old smelter location. Mansour Rockbolting Inc. prospered through a philosophy of customer service. Mansour Rockbolting Inc. later turned into Mansour Mining Inc. and eventually evolved into Mansour Mining Technologies Inc. as it’s known today.

Diesel Electric Services was Founded by Milad Mansour. Diesel Electric Services since 1983 has serviced the rail and associated industries.

The group adopted a corporate development strategy of establishing companies to address the needs of our customers by diversifying the products and services we offer, tailoring to the mining industry in Sudbury Ontario and the surrounding region.

Consolidated Drilling and Blasting was founded. Consolidated drilling and blasting was the 3rd company added to the Mansour Group of Companies.

BM Metals Services was founded and Incorporated. BM Metals is now the largest company within Milman Industries Inc. and continues to grow by diversifying its range of services offered to industrial markets.

Consolidated Logistics Inc. was also founded this year. CLI started on the lack of proper logistics within the local mining industry and Milad made it his responsibility to fill that void.

Sudbury Lime Limited was Founded. In the beginning, Sudbury Lime tailored its product to Vale Sudbury’s operations (at the time called INCO). Today, Sudbury Lime offers a wide variety of products to customers in many industries including mining, food, water treatment, etc.

Commencement of Phase 1 of the group’s now 3.2 Kilometer spur line. This spur line is 100% privately owned and maintained by Mansour Group. This spur line is used by almost all the companies within the group for many different purposes. The spur line had been a dream of Milad Mansour since the inception of Diesel Electric Services in 1983.

Consolidated Industrial Products was founded. This was the amalgamation of 3 separate entities that were Consolidated Rubber, Lube Support and Consolidated Conveyor. CIP offers a wide range of products including hoses, lubricants and sanitary products, fittings, power tools and a custom gasket shop.

Phase 2 of Milman’s spur line began. This was an extensive project that took a long time to complete hence the multiple stages of construction over the years.

Secure Track was patented by BM Metals. This track system delivers a 60% faster install time than traditional spike and plate installations. Secure Track requires less maintenance and has been proven to be a safer alternative to conventional track and rail systems. BM’s Track & Rail Division produces, installs and maintains all secure track products.

The purchase of a new second location for the group. This site and building were previously used to manufacture brake parts, until closing down due to the outsourcing of these parts from cheaper sources outside of Canada.
