“Dimachem is a growing, employee-owned chemical blending and packaging company celebrating 52 years of business in Windsor Ontario,” said Dimachem vice president Andrew Conway.

“We have invested in new equipment, new production cells and new people to support new customers and growth. We appreciate the support of The Government of Ontario who has been a strong partner to Dimachem.”

The funding is provided through the province’s Regional Development Program’s Advance Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness initiative.

To date, Ontario has provided over $110 million to support 100 projects through the program, leveraging over $1.1 billion in new investments and helping to create more than 2,300 jobs.

“Our government is proud to support local manufacturers across the province as they grow and create more good-paying jobs in their communities,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade.

“Investing in these types of community-building projects will help us continue to build Ontario and strengthen the economy. We thank Dimachem Inc. for making a significant impact in their community and for contributing to our province’s dynamic and growing manufacturing sector.”
