"With the move from Toronto to Hamilton, we're saving time and money. Our new location allows us to use the numerous highway systems around Hamilton to reach our clients across Ontario and the United States faster, and we're saving approximately $100,000 per year in rents and taxes in Hamilton using a building that is 20% larger than our previous facility."

Richard Denyes, President and C.O.O., Forterra Inc.

"Hamilton has an 'embarrassment of riches'."

"After eight years in operation, I knew it was time to market my company's specialized instrument repair services to a greater audience. Working with the SBEC, I was connected to a targeted customer base of almost 40 companies and introduced to federal and provincial resources that provide for greater marketing assistance. The SBEC also helped establish a business and education partnership between my company and international marketing students from Sheridan College who are aiding in the creation of an international marketing plan to strategically target markets in Canada, the United States and potentially Mexico."

Brian Fiddes, President Precision Tool Works
