Niagara Falls, Ontario — The Honourable Rob Nicholson, Member of Parliament for Niagara Falls, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, today announced that Automation Devices Canada Ltd. will receive an investment of $80, 910 for the design and production of a new standard equipment line, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

“This investment will provide much-needed stimulus funding to support Niagara’s ongoing economic recovery,” said Nicholson. “I am pleased that this funding will allow businesses in Niagara Falls to expand, become more competitive and secure new market opportunities.”

With the help of our team and future new staff, today’s funding will help position our company in the market place for a strong and prosperous future”, said Mark Marino, President of Automation Devices Canada Ltd.
