Orbia's Connectivity Solutions business, Dura-Line will establish a manufacturing facility in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. The project is expected to create 90 jobs within the next year.

The company already began construction on the new 150,000-square-foot facility. The location is planned to be fully operational by spring of 2023.

"Not only will this strategic location enable us to meet strong demand in the region, but it allows us to take advantage of the highly skilled labor force in Greater Edmonton," said Dale Wilson, Dura-Line's Vice President of Sales and Marketing in the U.S. and Canada.

Orbia's Connectivity Solutions business, Dura-Line, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of telecommunications conduit, cable-in-conduit, and other high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and connectivity infrastructure solutions that serve telecommunications, transportation, and network electrical markets. Dura-Line has 1,700 employees and 17 manufacturing facilities across the U.S., Canada, India, Oman, and Europe, serving over 50 countries through a global sales and distribution network.

"Our manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Utah, and Nevada have been doing a phenomenal job in meeting the growing demands of our Western Canada customers, but we felt it was time for Dura-Line to put down roots in Edmonton to serve these customers even better," Wilson added.
