Siltech Corporation, a global provider of organo-functional silicone specialties, is expanding its manufacturing facilities.

A new, state-of-the-art, grassroots manufacturing plant is in the final engineering design and approval stages. The new, more than 200,000 square-foot plant will be constructed on 33 acres of land in Fort Erie, Ontario. A ground-breaking will take place this summer and the plant is expected to come on-stream in early 2024.

This facility will not only double Siltech’s nameplate capacities of the existing two plants in Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, but will accommodate modern semi-continuous processing technologies, as well as introduction of new product lines.
