Durham Region serves as an ideal location to support the expansion and development of companies wishing to expand businesses in advanced manufacturing due to the already existing land, location, multimodal transportation and logistics sector, educated workforce, infrastructure and work/life balance.
The strengthening and deepening of the advanced manufacturing sector has resulted in the development of local infrastructures within the region. In the past five years the City of Pickering has seen over one million square feet of commercial and industrial space built.
The location of Durham Region plays a large role in the success of the advanced manufacturing sector. The Region is located along the 401 and 407 Highways, which are vital Canadian trade routes that also connect the Quebec City-Windsor corridor and Montreal-Chicago corridor, which are pivotal to national and international trade. The proximity to the Port of Oshawa and adjacent rail spur also facilitates effortless intermodal transportation between Canada and North America.
There is a tremendous opportunity for extended and continuous growth in advanced manufacturing due to the strong and dynamic base of manufacturers already present in Durham Region. This allows for long term development and employment opportunities within the Region.
