Residential pool company Latham Group will expand to Loyalist Township, Ont., west of Kingston, with a 60 ha (148 acre) fibreglass manufacturing plant.
When running at full capacity, the Kingston plant will employ over 100 employees, creating a variety of jobs for members of the local Loyalist Township and surrounding areas.
“We are very pleased that Latham has chosen our community for the location of its new plant,” said Ric Bresee, mayor of Loyalist Township and warden of County of Lennox and Addington. “Economic development is a priority for the County of Lennox and Addington, and we believe this project will benefit the residents of Loyalist Township.”
“I would like to thank the Latham leadership team and the local Loyalist township for their continued support and commitment to this project, and for being valuable partners in working toward our long-term success,” said Sanjay Jain, fibreglass operations director for Canada for Latham.
Production at the new Latham facility is expected to begin in 2023.
