Hammond Manufacturing Receives $1.5 Million from Ontario
Ontario is partnering with Hammond Manufacturing to expand production at its Guelph plant, creating 55 new jobs and retaining 324 positions over five years.

“We are proud to partner with the government of Ontario on this project, which will continue our company’s legacy of excellence in Guelph. This investment supports our efforts to improve our processes and systems, which will help us to continue to offer exceptional products for our customers worldwide,” stated Alex Stirling, CFO Hammond Manufacturing.
