Canadian silicones specialist Siltech has revealed it is to undertake a major expansion of its manufacturing facilities in Ontario.
The company said a new, state of the art manufacturing plant is in the final engineering design and approval stages.
The more than 200,000 square feet plant will be constructed on 33 acres of land in Fort Erie, Ontario.
Ground breaking will take place this summer and the plant is expected to come on stream in early 2024.
“This facility will not only double Siltech’s nameplate capacities of the existing two plants in Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario,” a spokesman said.
“But it will also accommodate modern semi-continuous processing technologies, as well as introduction of new product lines,” he added.
