VAUGHAN — The Ontario government is welcoming a $5 million investment by Macrodyne Technologies Inc., North America’s manufacturer of hydraulic presses and automation systems, equipment used by manufacturers to shape and mould materials such as metal, plastic, rubber and wood.
This investment will be used to purchase manufacturing technology for the company’s facilities in Vaughan and create 25 new jobs for machine builders, electricians, hydraulic technicians and engineers.
“By lowering taxes, cutting red tape, and investing in skilled labour, our government is creating the conditions for private sector growth, which is helping to create good-paying jobs across the region,” said Stephen Lecce, Member of Provincial Parliament for King — Vaughan. “We are proud of the expansion of Macrodyne Technologies as it supports growth in Vaughan’s local economy”

Thank you, Macrodyne Technologies, for continuing to innovate and invest in Ontario.”
With their $5 million investment, Macrodyne Technologies will purchase technology to expand their product line and add more automation and AI solutions. This new technology will help the company double production to meet demand, including those in the steel and aluminum, automotive, aerospace and pulp and paper industries.
As part of this investment, the government is providing Macrodyne Technologies with $750,000 in funding through the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC) stream of its Regional Development Program.
