Success Story

Investor: Nuform Building Technologies

“Vaughan is the ‘Silicon Valley’ of plastic extrusion. Resin suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and a strong talent pool in extrusion operators and mechanics, tool and die makers, and CNC punching machinists are all located within a 10-kilometre radius. Our manufacturing presence in Vaughan over many years is largely because of this reason.”
