Motion Industries, provider of industrial technology and distributor of MRO replacement parts, has entered a joint venture partnership with Tagodi Development. This resource contracting firm invests in the local Tahltan Nation in northern British Columbia, Canada.

An agreement was recently signed with the objective of delivering economic and operational benefits to the community and all involved. The largest focus will be in the mining sector, a major portion of this region’s industrial landscape. Specifically, the partnership will:

  • support mutual goals for truth and reconciliation, including economic prosperity
  • help build sustainable communities and create economic opportunities, including employment and skill development for the Tahltan People
  • foster collaboration with local experts to support mining operation growth in northern British Columbia.

“My family is very pleased to have entered into a joint venture with Motion,” said Jerry Asp, president of Tagodi Development and Tahltan elder. “I believe we will be able to deliver a new level of service to the Tahltan Nation and the mining industry in Tahltan Traditional Territory.”

Brent Pope, Motion’s senior group vice president, Canada & Sales Excellence, added: “Working with Tagodi, we aim to drive positive economic impact in the mining sector while supporting local development initiatives and honoring the region’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to deepening our community connection.”
