8 June 2009 – ADS has announced plans to open two new manufacturing facilities in Canada, one in Ontario and one in Quebec. “We are making this significant investment in these two plants to capitalize on the growth opportunities we see in Canada,” stated Mr. Chlapaty. “We realize that to be considered a major player in the drainage pipe business, we need to be producing our pipe locally, and these two plants are proof that we are serious about being a Canadian producer of HDPE pipe.
“The facility in Central Ontario is strategically located and will serve both the agriculture and storm sewer segments of our business,” Mr. Chlapaty continued. “This area has an excellent work force. We expect 25 jobs will be created initially once the plant is opened, and that will grow as product demand increases. Naturally, during construction there will be more people employed by the various contractors.”
Plans for the Quebec operation, located in the Drummondville area, where the company currently has a stocking distribution yard, call for a pipe manufacturing plant and setup similar to the Ontario facility.
Both plants will produce the full line of single and dual wall corrugated HDPE pipe. ADS will operate its internal fleet of dedicated trucks to service both rural and metropolitan areas. Both facilities are scheduled to open this summer and will immediately expedite job-site delivery time. There will also be more ADS area engineers on-site to assist project designers and contractors coordinating with design engineering and customer support departments.
