In 1997, Progressive Rubber Industries Inc. (PRI) established itself in Kamloops creating abrasion and corrosion resistance components for the mining industry as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEM).

Since its inception, PRI has been committed to strengthening the local economy. We have increased our diverse work force tenfold and will continue to grow in pace with demand from the mining industry.

By working with Thompson River University and our in house training programs we have developed and retained some of the most experienced personnel in the industry.​ With our combined expertise in steel fabrication, rubber lining, rubber molding, ceramic lining, on-site lining, on-site measurements, wear dynamics analysis, application analysis, and design services; PRI is the solution for any job – from small and simple to large and complex.​

PRI has the manufacturing capability and select ability to expedite and deliver emergency orders and has the ability to provide on-site consignment stocking of critical custom fares.
