Anmar Mechanical and Electrical Contractors Ltd
Anmar Mechanical & Electrical Contractors Ltd. is proud to be a family-run business and a part of the Greater Sudbury community. Our company was founded in 1989, and when we moved to the Community of Lively in the early 2000s, something special happened. Over time, Lively stopped being just the place we work and became the place we belong.
From our facility here in Lively, Anmar provides mechanical, electrical, civil, furnace, and fabrication services for heavy industrial projects across Canada and internationally. Our skilled tradespeople, project managers, engineers, and support staff work together every day to deliver complex projects safely, on time, and with pride in their craft. No matter where the work takes us, Lively is always home.
Being a family-run company means our values are built on relationships, trust, and showing up for the long haul. Those are the same values we see in Lively every day. Many of our employees live right here in the area, raise their kids here, coach the teams, and support the local causes that matter. This community has cheered us on through the years, and we never take that for granted.
As Lively marks its 75th anniversary, we are truly honoured to be part of this milestone. The story of this community is one of hard work, resilience, and people who genuinely look out for one another. That is something we deeply admire and try to reflect in everything we do.
On behalf of everyone at Anmar, congratulations to Lively on 75 wonderful years. We are proud to call this place home and cannot wait to keep growing alongside this community for many years to come.
