Factory is expected to create 200 new jobs
A new electric vehicle parts plant is coming to Welland.
The facility will produce large structural parts for electric vehicles, and production will start in February 2025.
The plant is being built by manufacturing company Linamar.
Linamar says with the giga casting factory, they'll be the first supplier outside of Asia to invest in the technology.
The facility will be located on Canal Bank Street and will be 300,000 square feet.
"We are thrilled to have attracted this significant new investment to Welland. Linamar’s presence in our community signals the next wave of investment in our local economy and is a testament to the progressive steps Welland is taking," said Mayor Frank Campion. "As a globally-recognized automotive supplier and proud Canadian employer, Linamar’s Welland-based employees will supply advanced components for the zero-emissions vehicles of the future from this new state-of-the-art facility. We are excited to welcome Linamar to Welland."
The plant is expected to create 200 jobs.
