The Slacan story is defined by high-quality products, strong North American roots, and a commitment to our communities. Here’s what sets us apart.
High-Quality Products
Slacan’s quality assurance is built into every step of production. Our investments in automation—robotic forging cells, CNC machining, automated welding, and in-house die production—deliver precision and consistency across every component. Utilities rely on our hardware to withstand extreme cold, heavy ice, and high winds. Our state-of-the-art in-house testing, from tensile load and Charpy impact to magnetic particle inspection, ensures every product meets or exceeds industry standards before it leaves our facility.
North American Sourced Raw Materials
Quality starts at the source. That’s why we prioritize sourcing our steel and raw materials from trusted suppliers across North America. By using locally sourced inputs, we not only guarantee traceability and consistency, but also avoid the risks associated with low-grade steel imports. This commitment strengthens supply chain security and supports the North American manufacturing industry.
Mitigating Tariffs
At Slacan Industries, we actively work to reduce the impact of tariffs on our customers through a combination of strategic initiatives. For example, we leverage our in-house manufacturing capabilities to produce all products domestically. Additionally, we utilize tariff classification reviews to ensure accurate and optimized product categorization. By consolidating shipments and optimizing logistics, we further reduce landed costs. These efforts allow us to maintain competitive pricing and deliver consistent value to our customers despite fluctuating trade conditions.
Supporting Local Vendors
We believe in strengthening the communities where we live and work. That’s why Slacan partners with sub-contractors and logistics providers for consistent support, shorter lead times, and supply chain reliability that utilities can count on during critical projects or storm response. By keeping business local, we help fuel the local economy, while closely managing quality.
Community Involvement
Slacan’s role in the community extends well beyond manufacturing. We are committed to building a diverse workforce by participating in Indigenous career fairs and creating pathways into skilled trades for underrepresented groups. We also actively support local charitable organizations such as United Way, reinforcing our dedication to improving the lives of families in our region. Slacan is proud to give back to the places that have supported us for over a century.
The Slacan story is one of resilience, innovation, and dedication. We build more than just products, we build trust, partnerships, and quality hardware designed to last.
Because power is on the line.
