Our founder Brian Cudmore spent 30 years in the mining industry before developing the Trace-It. His experience includes everything from development to tailings management to explosives. As a result of this experience, the Trace-It was a great success. Brian faced one problem, however. Many of his customers asked if he was also able to supply blasting accessories. Adapting to this customer need, Brian quickly expanded his product line. It now showcases a vast array of high quality blasting accessories, including blasting machines, galvanometers, and drill hole plugs.

Brian’s ability to react to the mining industry’s needs has allowed the company to grow and evolve over time. Over the past 20 years these evolutions have been reflected in our offerings. For example, Trace-It Blasting no longer actively markets Trace-It devices because the mines have moved onto emulsion explosives and other more modern technologies.
In addition to Trace-It Blasting’s large and adaptable product selection, Brian has also developed a system of  reducing non-moving stock. This process allows the company to offer a competitive price advantage, while still maintaining a typical  “ship to” time of 96 hours or less.
