Black Cat Blades produces a complete range of cutting edges and wear parts for all construction and earthmoving machinery as well as grader, snowplow and carbide insert blades for road maintenance equipment. Our sales and production divisions use a common database for scheduling and order status reporting and we maintain on file over 30,000 clear, accurate computer drawings of standard and custom items, which are available to both our distributors and production department. All production plants are linked to this database.
Edmonton, Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is the location of our corporate head office as well as a 36,000 square foot manufacturing facility and a 24,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility. The Edmonton manufacturing facility is mainly responsible for the processing of heavy construction blades for bull dozers, loaders, excavators and scrapers. The wide variety of parts and lower run quantities of these parts dictates a manufacturing system that is flexible and able to process order quantities from 1 to 10 efficiently. Larger run quantities, although less frequent, are easily processed.
Selkirk, Manitoba
Two additional production facilities are located in Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. The largest facility is 29,000 square feet and is located on Railway Street adjacent to the Gerdau Ameristeel steel mill. Our original Selkirk plant contains 12,000 square feet of manufacturing space and located four kilometers away on Main Street. Consequently these plants are referred to as “Railway” and “Main Street”. These plants concentrate on higher volume construction machinery cutting edges; grader blades, snow plow blades and carbide insert blades.
Su Zhou, China
Our newest production facility opened in 2008 in Su Zhou, Jin Jia Ba, China. The wholly owned enterprise has approximately 55,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The facility is located three hours by truck to the Shanghai Port on a leased facility owned by, and adjacent to, the steel mill that produces the feed steel used in our production. The China facility offers a competitive source of grader blades and other cutting edges as well as an inspection and packaging capability for castings. The ability to consolidate these product lines provides many of our export customers with a much broader range of products from a single source with a significant freight advantage to many destinations.
