In 1971, the Cubex Company was established in Winnipeg, Manitoba by two brothers, H.H. (Kitch) Wilson and William (Bill) Wilson. Started as a manufacturing company producing mining equipment, the Company has expanded into companion areas such as municipal and highway maintenance equipment.

One of the initial overseas forays of the Cubex Company was to India. With the assistance of Mr.Hemant Shah, they achieved their first success in selling its first Mining equipment to Hindustan Copper Corporation, a major mining company. Since then Cubex Company has grown by leaps and bounds and is now exporting to more than 29 countries worldwide. Presently we are the world leaders in the Mining industry.

For more than 30 years, Cubex has been actively involved in the contracting of services, supplying of capital equipment, and in designing and manufacturing equipment for the mining industry around the world. Since the acquisition of the Megamatic Drill Division from TRW Mission Manufacturing Company, Cubex has moved aggressively into the international mining market. With Distributors in practically every continent, Cubex Megamatic drills are operating successfully in every major mining area around the world.

Cubex Limited has a broad knowledge of the drilling industry that goes to its roots. Twenty five years ago, the company started out as a drilling contractor. Today, the company is still contracting its drilling services to the oil field industry by supplying men and equipment for specialized air drilling services to the oil industry around the world. Each Megamatic drill produced reflects the successful blending of engineering excellence with the application realities of the job site.

Cubex Canada has two divisions – Mining Division that handles manufacturing of Mining Drill Rigs and Municipal Division handling the Sales – Service – Lease of New equipment and Refurbished units.

The Wilson brothers, exemplify the true entrepreneurial attitude. Through the course of their business lives, they have never sought financial support from any government agency, provincial or federal.

What they have sought is information and support for market evaluation and development purposes, and some level of security when venturing into new, uncharted terrain. Relying upon the knowledge of Mr. Hemant Shah, the Cubex partners became comfortable and trusting of two excellent federal government agencies, the Export Development Corporation (EDC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). Having dealt with these professionals for many years, the Cubex partners maintain their trust in the support and information they receive from these Canadian government departments.

Today, Cubex continues to have its headquarters in Winnipeg in a 89,000 sq.ft. building, with a second 32,000 sq.ft manufacturing facility in Calgary. Additionally, there are three sales offices in Canada, Sudbury, Ont., Vancouver, B.C., and a 15,000 sq. ft. facility in Montreal including a warehouse.
