IMS Innovative Mining Services - Metal Wear Solutions

Meet Terry, IMS’s new Sales and Marketing Manager.

Terry joined IMS because he’s excited to be part of a team with limitless drive for success and a passion to create long lasting partnerships with our customers.

What stood out to him right away was the commitment to be the best by supplying the best parts and materials in a timely manner to minimize down time.

After spending time in the industry, he’s seen first hand that customers don’t just want parts. They want IMS to be their solutions experts whether it’s scheduled maintenance or interrupted production.

At IMS, Terry is focused on strengthening our sales team to quickly and effectively provide our customers new and old with shortened lead times by providing the right product for the right solution at the right time. He and his team look forward to working closely with customers in mining, forestry, recycling, and road maintenance to help equipment last longer and downtime stay lower.

Outside of work, Terry enjoys spending time with his family and dog Jack in the outdoors hunting and fishing as well as on the baseball diamond as a coach.

Welcome to the team, Terry!

In winter operations, durability isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

At one BC road maintenance site, standard Bear’s Paw plow shoes were lasting just 1–2 shifts on asphalt. After switching to IMS' Bear Paw plow shoes with Injected Tungsten Carbide (Wc) design, those same shoes lasted 12–15 shifts under the same conditions.

That’s a 10x increase in wear life, and more than $2,000 in savings per truck, per month.

With IMS, your equipment enjoys longer life and less downtime, and your business can lower labour costs.

When a mining client needed a full rebuild of their shovel bucket, IMS stepped in early to help scope the right approach.

These buckets move raw material all day in some of the most abrasive conditions in Canada, so wear is inevitable. After reviewing the photos and understanding the site’s needs, IMS recommended a new lip, new wear components, structural checks, and final alignment work to ensure proper fit and performance.

Working closely with the customer’s maintenance team, IMS rebuilt the bucket end-to-end to ensure it returned to site ready to perform.

As IMS' CEO Caleb puts it: “Every rebuild is about trust. The customer counts on us to make sure that bucket fits back on the shovel and runs right from day one.”

That’s how IMS turns heavy-wear rebuilds into long-term performance for mining operations.

Mine sites across Western Canada can cut replacement cycles by 80% by switching to IMS’s Piranha™ CCO plate.

Our Chromium Carbide Overlay plates are engineered for extreme abrasion, with hardness ratings of 57–65 HRC and proven field performance that delivers:
✔ Up to 5x the wear life of conventional plate
✔ 30x the durability of mild steel
✔ Reduced downtime, fewer rebuilds, and longer equipment life

Available in various thicknesses, sheet sizes, and cut-to-spec options—all in stock now and competitively priced.

You need parts that last. We’ve got them, ready to ship to you.
