07/05/2023
Mitsui High-tec (Canada), Inc. a manufacturer of motor cores, the basic structure of the motor used in electric vehicles, plans to expand its operations in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. The $102.3 million project is expected to create 104 jobs.

The investment will include a new 103,500 square-foot manufacturing facility that will help meet the growing product demand.

"Ontario has been a great place for Mitsui High-tec (Canada) Inc. to settle and build. With the growing focus on the Hybrid and EV industry in Canada, and our opportunity to strengthen the supply chain, Ontario is a fantastic location to be close to borders for export, with space and opportunity to continue growing. Brantford has specifically been a great place to expand into, as there is a healthy job force, and space for development. We are looking forward to continuing to foster our relationship with the region of Brantford and Province of Ontario in this next phase of expansion,” Yasushi Harada President of Mitsui High-tec (Canada), Inc. said.

To support the project the Canadian government is investing $3.1 million through Invest Ontario.

"This long standing relationship is a testament to how companies who come to Ontario can continue to grow and flourish here. Our existing infrastructure, strong automotive cluster and talent pool reduce the burden of setting up shop and ultimately retain leading global businesses like Mitsui High-tec (Canada), Inc. Investments like these have catalytic effects on the industry and support Ontario’s automotive cluster as a global leader,” noted Trevor Dauphinee CEO of Invest Ontario.

Mitsui High-tec contributes to the development of the electronics, automobile and industrial machinery by developing precise tooling for press, motor core, machine tools, leadframe and improving the productivity and preciseness dramatically based on high level processing skills. The company is now the only motor core parts manufacturer for EVs and hybrid vehicles in Canada.
