Convoy Technologies To Open New Factory In Windsor Essex

Convoy Technologies, Inc. announced its intent in mid-March to establish a new manufacturing facility in Windsor Essex at an undisclosed location.

“If the pandemic has taught us one thing,” Convoy Technologies’ President Ron Harker says, “it is that having control over your supply chain is the key to getting products to your customers quickly and reliably. Sourcing parts closer to home and assembling them in North America will ultimately give us shorter, more predictable lead times. And it will eventually help us contain total costs, meaning our customers can count on continued supply and competitive pricing.”

They hope to employ up to 50 employees and start operations as early as the fall of this year.

The company, which was established in 2008, will maintain its current distribution centre in Fort Wayne, IN., U.S.A., where its headquarters are located.

Convoy Technologies, Inc. (see the website: ConvoyTechnologies.com) is a leading provider of innovative industrialgrade safety products, including cameras, monitors, sensors, recording systems, and accessories, serving the Heavy Duty On-and-Off-Road Industries.

Their goal is to provide education and leading-edge products geared toward improving the safety, productivity, and security of its partners.
