Pinnacle Drilling Products excels as an industry “total solutions” provider By Lisa Gordon When Allan Zdunich founded Pinnacle Drilling Products back in 2007, the Vancouver, B.C.-based company supplied drilling tools and products to the oil and gas, mining, construction, geothermal and waterwell industries. Its first shop was a mere 2,000 square feet, and it was home to just four employees. But Zdunich - a drilling industry veteran who is marking 50 years in the field this year - was clearly onto a good thing. It took only eight years for Pinnacle to grow into a new facility in Burnaby, one that is five times bigger than its original shop. In 2011, a company restructuring initiative brought in more capital to fund targeted growth.
