Manufacturing
Overview
Manufacturing is a key component of Canada’s economy, encompassing the production, sale and distribution of various finished products. Significant manufacturing sectors include automotive, aerospace, defence, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, hydrogen and fuel cells, medical devices and plastics.
