NCA - A Trusted Name for Compressors in the Mining and Quarrying Sector

NCA Canada has been serving customers and drilling contractors in the mining, mineral exploration and quarrying industries with a range of Mining Air Compressors for over 60 years.

NCA’s association with the mining and mineral exploration industry dates back to early 1960s when its sister company National Drilling Services (NDS) started providing contract drilling services for underground mining operations in Northern Ontario. During this time, NDS was also involved in the manufacturing of specialized drill rigs and the supply of Down-The-Hole (DTH) drilling tools to other drilling contractors in Canada and worldwide. Over time NDS phased out its contract drilling service operations and focused on providing innovative compressed air solutions under National Compressed Air (NCA). Today NCA is recognized as one of the most reputable suppliers of different types of compressors for various applications in the Mining and Quarrying sector.
