A Chatham-Kent company, with locations in Wheatley and Tilbury, is getting $195,300 in provincial funding to create and keep jobs.
The funding will help H & H Wood Products Inc. create 13 new jobs and retain 58 positions.
The money from the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund will help the company buy new equipment, expand its production capacity, and grow its customer base. The company produces wood products, such as pallets, racks, and containers for the food, automotive, and agriculture industries.
H & H Wood Products Inc. is investing nearly $2-million in the project.
Geoffrey Wright with Chatham-Kent's Economic Development Office says "the multi-site investment announcement is another indication the region is a strategic hub for supply chain companies serving the automotive and agribusiness sectors."
