Three local companies will create 32 new good-paying jobs in Oxford

WOODSTOCK — The Ontario government is welcoming a combined investment of $10,432,574 by Split-Fire Sales, Wellmaster Pipe and Supply Inc., and Future Transfer to boost local manufacturing and create 32 new good-paying jobs in Oxford.

“By supporting strategic investments from regional businesses, our government is protecting Ontario’s workers and creating the conditions for a strong, stable, and resilient economy that can weather any storm,” said MPP Hardeman. “These investments will support growth and innovation across the local manufacturing sector and create more good-paying jobs for workers and families in Oxford.”

With its $4,157,000 investment, Split-Fire Sales will relocate to a recently purchased industrial building near its Norwich facility that will almost triple its manufacturing square footage. The investment includes building renovations, equipment, software and employee training.

Wellmaster Pipe and Supply’s investment of $1,344,818 helped them to develop a customized CNC lathe machine that will be a first in Canada innovation, giving them competitive advantage in the sector. The machine decreases labour hours and increases production and efficiency.

Future Transfer will invest $4,930,756 in an end-to-end production line for the development and manufacturing of a new water-based suspension herbicide

“Employing more than 800,000 workers across the province, Ontario’s manufacturing sector is the economic engine of our nation,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Our government is proud to support local companies like Split-Fire Sales, Wellmaster and Future Transfer as they expand their operations, and we thank them for their contributions to Ontario’s dynamic and growing manufacturing ecosystem.”

In support of this investment, the government is providing Split-Fire Sales with $500,000 in funding through the Regional Development Program’s Southwestern Ontario Development Fund. Wellmaster will receive $201,723 and Future Transfer will receive $739,613.

Ontario is investing over $200 million through its Regional Development Program to help manufacturers across the province grow while supporting distinct regional priorities. To date, Ontario has supported more than 165 projects through the program, leveraging more than $2.1 billion in new investments and helping to create over 4,000 jobs.
