The Ontario government says a nearly $32 million investment by seven local companies will help strengthen Niagara’s manufacturing sector and create more than 70 new good-paying jobs across the region.
The announcement was made in Beamsville by MPP Sam Oosterhoff last week, alongside regional and municipal officials and business leaders.
The province is supporting the projects with just over $5.2 million through the Regional Development Program, helping companies expand capacity, modernize operations, and introduce new technologies.
Investments span communities including Beamsville, Smithville, Welland, Thorold, Fort Erie, St. Catharines, and Port Colborne, with projects ranging from automated manufacturing lines to expanded facilities and new equipment.
Provincial officials say the investments will drive innovation, support local workers and families, and reinforce manufacturing as a key economic pillar for Niagara and Ontario as a whole.
