Manufacturing
Becoming a part of Northumberland County's growing manufacturing sector has its advantages. There is a higher concentration of people with college degrees and trade certificates than both Ontario and Canada. Northumberland is within an hour of two universities and three colleges that offer a wide variety of technical programs to ensure their graduates are ready for a career in manufacturing. Many local manufacturers take advantage of government training subsidies and programs that cover a portion of training costs. Also, wages are competitive, yet lower than the provincial average. Collins & Aikman, SABIC Innovative Plastics, Esco Ltd., Cameco and Dart Cup Limited are some of the manufacturing companies that enjoy the dedicated, skilled labour; easy access to Highway 401; and exceptional quality of life that Northumberland County has to offer.
