Dixon has been in business for more than 50 years, serving the local mining and forestry industry, and is a member of the Sudbury Area Mining Supply and Service Association (SAMSSA).
“Dixon Electric has a proven track record over the past 50 years of servicing the electrical industry with reputable products and excellent customer service,” Anquetil said. “We are pleased to welcome Dixon Electric to the Sonepar Canada family.”
