Umicore Groundbreaking

October 19, 2023

Groundbreaking Day for the EV Revolution in Ontario!

Proud to join Premier FordNation, Minister FIdeli, Mayor Hegadorn, and Chief Maracle at the cornerstone event for Umicore’s state-of-the-art plant in Loyalist Township.

With Umicore’s forward-thinking facility:

• We’ll see an upsurge in production for EV battery components.

• 600 new jobs will be directly created, alongside 700 co-op opportunities for students.

This significant investment is more than just numbers – it’s a step towards a greener future, affirming Ontario’s key role in the global EV market. We’re leveraging our domestic resources for a near carbon-neutral output.
