Built on the crushing, not the sales pitch.
For more than 30 years, Cantex Crushing has earned its reputation throughout the Okanagan by producing aggregate that meets specification. That reputation wasn't built on always being the lowest bidder, it was built on experienced people, dependable equipment, and consistently delivering quality work.
Many of the same crew members who helped build that reputation are still with us today. Several have been with Cantex for more than a decade, bringing the knowledge and consistency that only comes from years of working together. Every member of our field crew is trained to step into multiple roles on site, creating a safer, more efficient operation from start to finish.
Aggregate crushing isn't just one of the things we do, it's what we do. On mobile crushing projects across British Columbia, and at our permitted Summerland pit, we produce quality aggregate and custom gradations that meet your project's engineering requirements.
As a unionized contractor, we invest in experienced, long-term employees rather than constantly replacing them. The result is a stable, mine-supervisor-certified crew, working under a shift boss and a mine manager, that understands production, works safely, and delivers consistent results from one project to the next.
A strong foundation. A proud future.
Proudly Indigenous-owned.
Acquired by Gambler First Nation in 2024, Cantex Crushing continues to operate under the same experienced management and operational team that built its reputation over the past 30 years.

Three reasons contractors choose Cantex.
Every project comes down to three things: producing quality aggregate, having the capability to get the job done, and doing it safely. Those principles guide every decision we make, from the people we hire to the equipment we run and the work we deliver.
Quality starts at the source.
Quality isn't something we inspect at the end of production; it's built into the process. We crush to the specification your job references, including specifications that reference MoTT or CSA, as well as engineered and custom gradations, with quality control and engineering expertise supporting production from start to finish.
Built for projects of every size.
With two mobile crushing spreads, we match the equipment to the job, from 2,000 m³ projects to major crushing contracts reaching 2,000,000 m³. Our larger spread has measured up to 600 tonnes per hour at peak, while our second gives us the flexibility to work efficiently on smaller sites and specialized projects. Add aggregate supply from our permitted Summerland pit, and we're equipped for both local material needs and large-scale on-site crushing across BC and beyond.
Experienced crews. Safe operations.
Safety starts with experienced people. Cantex operates with all three levels of BC Mines Act supervision, including mine manager and shift boss certification and mine-supervisor-certified crews. Our field staff are cross-trained to perform multiple roles, giving every site greater depth, flexibility, and accountability. It's an experienced team built to operate safely, from our permitted Summerland mine to mobile crushing projects across BC.
