Ledcor Group

Already a leading contractor to mining and oil and gas companies in Western Canada, Ledcor Industrial believes a significant amount of work in oil sands, mining and related industries could be in the offing in the next year. Keith Regan learns from key executives how Ledcor is adapting to changing marketplace realities and customer expectations by aligning itself internally to capture an even larger share of the market.

The Ledcor Group has roots as deep as the oil, gas and natural resources it has long helped its clients mine from beneath the earth in Western Canada. The company got its start in 1947 when founder William Lede built the access road and well site for Leduc No. 1, the rig that led to Imperial Oil's famous discovery of oil in the province of Alberta.
