Celebrating 115 Years!

Saint John, NB & Dartmouth, NS – September 2025 — The Sancton Group proudly marked a major milestone this fall, celebrating 115 years of family ownership, innovation, and service excellence across Atlantic Canada.

Two milestone events, held at Sancton’s Saint John, New Brunswick and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia locations, brought together employees, customers, industry partners, and community members to honour the company’s enduring legacy and continued growth.

Guests experienced live equipment demonstrations, a showcase of Sancton’s history since 1910, and the opportunity to connect with the team behind one of Atlantic Canada’s longest-standing industrial and construction service providers.

“We’re incredibly proud to mark 115 years as a family-owned business,” said Matt Sancton, President of The Sancton Group. “This milestone reflects not only our team’s commitment to excellence, but also the trust and relationships we’ve built with partners, customers, and communities across the region. We’re grateful — and we’re just getting started.”
