Government of Saskatchewan Reaches Settlement with Shercom Industries
The settlement resolves Shercom's lawsuit over contract breaches after the province hired a U.S. processor, leading to layoffs and lost business, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Saskatchewan's government announced a $4.8-million settlement with Saskatoon-based Shercom Industries, which the company accepted.
- Shercom filed suit in November 2024 alleging the province breached its contract by allowing additional processors, violating its commitment as the sole tire recycler.
- The province hired U.S.-based Crumb Rubber Manufacturing to recycle tires in Moose Jaw, and Shercom said this caused lost business and forced layoffs.
- The province said the deal is not an admission of liability and other terms are confidential, calling the settlement `believed to be in the best interests` of Saskatchewan residents and the tire recycling industry.
- This report was first published Feb. 17, 2026 and Jeremy Simes reported the story for The Canadian Press.
