HK Industrial blends design, problem-solving, and manufacturing expertise to create solutions that consistently evoke, “That’s what I’ve been looking for!”
Based in Sudbury, Ontario, we design and manufacture durable, locally made gear that enhances safety, efficiency, and convenience for heavy-industry workers.
When Canada’s largest mining companies adopted self-contained self-rescuers nationwide, we worked directly with underground crews to develop a carrying system offering three practical configurations. Rigorous field testing ensured the result was both robust and safety-conscious - a reflection of our commitment to innovation and excellence.
This success opened the door to a broader portfolio. Today, HK Industrial designs purpose-built solutions for industries beyond mining — including oil and gas, construction, aviation, and maritime — each engineered to meet the same high standards of durability, safety, and performance.

Every product has been designed and tested with direct feedback from mining crews, and industrial workers in Sudbury, Ontario.

Products like Big Yella™ backpack and the SCSR pouches are already in use in mines and on job sites Canada-wide.

Most of HKI products are made in Canada, with one exception manufactured abroad to meet demand; all held to the same rugged standards.
High-visibility, reflective, durable, and organized solution for technicians. Built to meet safety standards and withstand tough environments, it features a waterproof hard base, 24 internal tool and bit pockets, and rugged materials designed to perform.
Reliable Self-Rescuer Solutions Designed for Mining Professionals

The Big Yella definitely makes life easier, the many compartments keeps tools organised and separated, and the overall comfort of the bag and adjustments make it a great fit.
Scott C - North Bay
The self-rescuer pouches really are a great product, the quality of craftsmanship speaks for itself. The real human customer service from people that clearly care makes coming back an easy choice.
Thanks again

The bags are great, I've whipped it around a lot and it's still going strong. No issues whatsoever and it has tons of room for tools and what not, which is not the case with other bags.

I work in a very wet mine in Indonesia. Through email correspondence she was able to design exactly what I wanted. The price was fair for the quality of the backpack. I have been using the first one now for about a year or so and it is still going strong.
