Primco Dene Group of Companies, wholly own by Cold Lake First Nations, is expanding again.

Primco Commercial LP purchased its second Jiffylube franchise, which is located in Bonnyville. Primco is currently in the process of completing construction of a third Jiffylube franchise and carwash in the City of Cold Lake, which will open in November 2015. The award-winning company provides camp catering, janitorial, courier, security, emergency medical services, Internet and IT services to the oil and gas industry. “Cold Lake First Nations is proud of our Primco Group of Companies and how they have continued to build capacity despite the economy in Alberta and Canada. This speaks to their success under the current leadership,” said Chief Bernice Martial. Primco has also entered into a joint venture partnership with Northern Crane SG Ventures Ltd and Cold Lake/NCSG Crane and Heavy Haul Ltd. to partner in the heavy haul and crane industry servicing to the oil industry throughout Cold Lake First Nations traditional lands and the surrounding area. Primo Dene is also expanding in the equipment rental industry having just formed PD Rentals. Recently, Primco Dene accepted the Aboriginal Engagement Award†at the Global Petroleum Show.
