Northumberland has a diverse manufacturing sector comprising a variety of consumer and industrial products.
We hosted a number of global manufacturers and offer emerging advanced manufacturers several world class facilities from which to start or expand their advanced manufacturing expertise.
Our County has a higher concentration of people with college degrees and trade certificates than both Ontario and Canada. We are within an hour of two universities and three colleges that offer a wide variety of technical programs to ensure their graduates are ready for a career in manufacturing.
Many local manufacturers take advantage of government training subsidies and programs that cover a portion of training costs. Wages are competitive, yet lower than the provincial average. Manufacturing companies enjoy the dedicated, skilled labour; easy access to Highway 401; and exceptional quality of life that our County offers.
