Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, September 14, 2016 – The Saskatchewan Industrial and Mining Suppliers Association (SIMSA) believes the PotashCorp/Agrium merger can be beneficial to our member companies.
The PotashCorp and Agrium merger allows two Canadian champions to become one larger one; it allows them to achieve the scale and scope to be globally competitive into the future. This, in the long run, is good for the Province, jobs, and investors.
There are three ways in which our resource sector benefits the province; jobs (salaries), taxes/royalties, and investment into our Saskatchewan based suppliers.
Our members are integral to the success – and growth – of industry in the province and embrace the challenges and opportunities of creating stronger and more competitive industry in the province.
SIMSA’s Board Chair – Jim Nowakowski – stated, “SIMSA would expect that our relationships with PotashCorp and Agrium, which have been great, would continue into the future and become stronger. As such, we look forward to a renewed focus on prioritizing Saskatchewan vendors in the support of all our ongoing operational success.”
