WINDSOR — On Apr. 21, Helena Jaczek, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), announced an investment of $1 million for Dimachem Inc. to expand its production capabilities and create 14 skilled jobs in Windsor-Essex.

Located in Windsor, Dimachem Inc. is a manufacturer of industrial chemicals for the automotive and cleaning industries.
