The new facility increases our overall corporate footprint to 173,000 square feet, and gives us room to expand inventory, add equipment, and take on more work in a way that we could not do before.”

The new location will have new production equipment, including high-powered plasma and oxyfuel cutting machinery, cranes, and machining and brake-forming equipment. Once all the equipment is installed, the location expects to add up to 50 new jobs to the City of Thorold.

The Thorold Multimodal Hub is a 500-acre multimodal industrial complex adjacent to the Welland Canal. To-date, over 25 companies have located at the Hub.
