Ontario’s Minister of Transportation, Prabmeet Sarkaria visited the CDN Group in Delhi this morning.
CDN Group specializes in designing, manufacturing and installing durable steel structures for residential, commercial and agricultural applications across Canada and regions of the United States. The visit focused on the proposed new 65,000 square foot manufacturing facility to be located south of Delhi on Hwy #3. The CDN Group is growing and they’re looking to consolidate locations. The company has outgrown their location at 523 James Street, in Delhi. In fact, they have a new piece of equipment that is sitting unused because it’s too big for the current location.
However, all building permits are on hold until a traffic study can be conducted and the Ministry approves an entrance permit off of Highway 3. Minister Sarkaria was pleased to see local growth like this.
Bill Dendekker of CDN Group was positive and felt it was important for the Minister to see first hand what they are trying to do in Delhi.
CDN Group currently has 75 employees, plus their sub-contractors, 5 of which exclusively sub to CDN Group. The hope is that a larger plant will allow for greater economic growth and more employment opportunities in the county.
