Province Investing $350,000 at Integrated Packaging Films in Ayr

Friday, 13 November 2020 13:48

The money will be used to help the company increase production for PPE and it will also create more full time jobs at the facility.

AYR - The Province is investing $350,000 in Integrated Packaging Films from Ayr. 

The money will be used to help the company create new jobs and increase production of PET film by 49 percent. This will contribute to the production of almost four million more face shields per month. Minister of Economic Development Vic Fedeli says these face shields help help keep front line workers safe during the second wave of COVID-19.

"Ontario's manufacturing sector has been championing the ongoing fight against COVID-19. We are pleased to support companies like Integrated Packaging Films as they increase their capacity to make the supplies and equipment needed to keep communities safe, enhance future preparedness, and while helping to keep our economy open." 

President of Integrated Packaging Films Bill Mechar says this funding will create more jobs at their facility in Ayr. 

"As a manufacturer of clear plastic sheeting for over 23 years, Integrated Packaging Films is excited to work towards protecting Ontarians against the COVID virus. With the help of the government's Ontario Together Fund, we will increase capacity of clear film and offer Canadian manufacturers locally made materials for fabricating face shields. This expansion will also create several new full time jobs in our Ayr facility."
