About Canadian Wear Technologies
Welcome to Canadian Wear Technologies – specialists in wear protection for the mining industry since 1985. (Formerly Abreco Wear Products – division of Limpact International Limited). Abreco Inc. was first established in 1985 to manufacture a very unique and high-end white iron laminated wear material for the Oil Sands market trade named AbrecoPlate®.
Today the business has expanded to include a wider range of products and services and a much wider range of industries serviced including mining, steel, cement, aggregate, power generation and O.E.M.’s . To date, millions of pounds of Abreco wear products have been placed in service throughout the world. In response to our continued strong growth we have reopened Abreco Inc. and to more accurately reflect the scope of the business, we have renamed the company to Canadian Wear Technologies.

Our goal is to continue steady growth by helping our customers reduce operating costs related to wear and make it easy for them to source replacement materials.
History about Abreco Plate
Canadian Iron Foundries Ltd. (Canron) first developed and marketed this high-end laminated wear product under the trade name "Domite®". The product was developed to protect against severe abrasion and impact in material handling systems. In 1984, Canron closed this division and sold the name "Domite. In that same year a metallurgist from Canron, one of the original product developers, started Abreco Inc. to maintain continuity of supply in the Alberta Oils Sands and began marketing the product under the trade name "Abreco". Abreco Inc, quickly took over the leading market share for white iron laminated wear material and in 1990 was purchased by Limpact International Limited and operated as Abreco Wear Products Division. In 2004 the original company was reopened and renamed to Canadian Wear Technologies. We are proud of the fact that we continue the manufacturing process to the exacting standards of its original developer. Today, Abreco Laminated Wear Products are marketed around the world and are helping to solve some of the toughest wear problems in industries such as MINING, STEEL, CEMENT, AGGREGATE, POWER GENERATION AND OEM’S.
