About AMIX Group
We are an integrated and diversified group of companies for the industrial sector. We have the equipment, staff, experience, and structure to work on small and large projects across Western Canada — from marine transportation and projects to metal recycling and ready-mix concrete. AMIX can take the lead.
Our History
The story of AMIX Group begins in 1971 with founder Ed Jackson. Born in 1949, Ed grew up in Penticton, BC, working in a farming community. At sixteen, he started a recycling business called Jackson Trucking & Salvage. Six years later, in 1971, he expanded into AMIX Salvage & Sales in downtown Vernon, BC — a second-hand discount store selling used furniture, tools, and scrap metal. In 1973 he moved his family to the coast, and AMIX began to concentrate on metal recycling.
"That same entrepreneurial spirit continues today."
Ed's son, Willie Jackson, joined the company in 1990, and over the next twenty years they grew AMIX into the largest volume dealer of recycled metal in Western Canada. AMIX Group has expanded into six separate and complementary business lines serving the needs of its customers.
