TESTIMONIALS

Read WHY our companies chose Milton.


 

 "Central location since our head office is in Kitchener and we have another manufacturing plant in Toronto.  Dare Foods Milton Plant has been in operation since 1988 and manufactures confectionery products. It is one of 7 Dare Foods plants that operate in Ontario, Quebec and the USA."

"Wilcox Bodies Limited had a home in Mississauga for 46 years.  We moved to Milton in February 2008.  We needed to move because we out grew our old facility.  We became too busy and in order to continue meeting our customers' demands we needed to move to a larger location.  We decided to look into Milton because it is a growing community with promising opportunities for us as well as our customers.  We purchased our 32,000 sq. foot manufacturing facility located on McGeachie Drive.  Perfect location as it is close to the 401 highway and made an easy transition for our customers as well as our employees."

"Well situated on the west side of greater Toronto, Milton is one of fastest growing communities in Canada.   It's proximity to major markets - to existing and new clients and easy accessibility along the 401 corridor between London and Milton made Scott Builders Inc.'s choice to locate in Milton absolutely  strategic to their plans to expand operations into Ontario.

Milton also provides access to many quality subcontractors and suppliers within a tight geographical area, often the key to providing exceptional Customer service for existing and new clients.    Proximity to both Toronto's Pearson International Airport as well as both the Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo airports is an added plus.

Scott Builders Inc., who have a 39 year Partnership with the leading producer of Metal Building Systems, Butler Mfg. Co. will hold the franchise for the area enabling the Milton office to access Butler product directly from any of their plants."

"The Milton Region was chosen over others for a variety of reasons.  The most important criteria in our evaluation process was its geographic location.  It is located in the west area of the GTA which has proven to be the greatest area for business growth.  Our company needs the use of the Provincial Highway System and Milton is conveniently located on Hwy 401.  From here, we can easily access the ports to the USA of both Detroit and Buffalo, and perform our services most effectively.  Milton has a very young demographic which is important to our company as we continue to grow.  The labour pool is educated and many are choosing to work close to home so finding the right talent has not been difficult.  We needed a large tract of land and we found the pricing to be at that time 50% less than the other areas in our study."

C.F. Crozier & Associates logo

"Recognizing this area's tremendous growth potential and increasing demand for local Milton-based engineering solutions, Crozier & Associates knew that opening a branch office in Milton was the right move.  The fact that Christopher Crozier, Principal of C.F. Crozier & Associates, was raised in Milton, made the decision that much more appealing.

Equally as important to our expansion is the exceptionally skilled labour market in Milton, which ranks amongst the highest educated communities in Canada, as well as access to broad complimentary services to support our business.

Milton is an engaged, forward-looking community as the crossroads of growth and exactly where we want to be."

 Roxul Inc. logo

  "Milton was a strategic choice for Roxul back in 1988 when we established for our North American headquarters here.  It offered both the proximity and efficient 401 access to the raw materials we required for our production process.  Our Milton base also situated us squarely in a region of strong, sustained growth and demand for our planet-friendly insulation, including ready access to the US.  Those same factors, along with a highly skilled labour pool and progressive municipal government, ensured our decison to make a significant investment to expand our operations here in 2009."  

- Trent Ogilvie
  President
  Roxul Inc.



"We moved from Mississauga to Milton for two main reasons.  First the proximity to the 401 as the major transportation corridor in the area, this is important for us to move our product in and out of our facility.  Second was the availability of a suitable space for our operation at a competitive price and the facilities being built in the Milton area certainly met those criteria."
