Ontario’s aerospace industry is an important part of our future, and our government’s partnership will help it innovate and grow. Today’s investment will strengthen COM DEV’s ability to compete in the global marketplace while creating good jobs here in Ontario,” Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario
With support from the province's Southwestern Ontario Development Fund, the company will expand its facility and invest in innovative technology to improve efficiency, increase productivity and lower environmental impacts.
