Ontario supports aerospace innovation

The province of Ontario is partnering with Cyclone Manufacturing to invest in new technology and expand its Mississauga facilities, creating 132 new jobs and retaining 554 positions.

The company makes precision components for the aerospace industry, with services including machining, sheet metal fabrication, tube bending and welding, assembly, and final processing and finishing for customers that include Bombardier, Spirit, Airbus, Boeing, Israel Aerospace Industries, Triumph, Lockheed Martin, and AIDC.

“The project we’re announcing … marks a significant new chapter in the development of our company. With this investment in the latest production and finishing technologies, Cyclone will be able to offer even greater innovation and flexibility for our valued customers," said Andrew Sochaj, president of Cyclone Manufacturing.

With support from Ontario’s Jobs and Prosperity Fund, the company is enhancing its CNC production capabilities, investing in new equipment, and setting up new process lines to bring work in-house that is currently outsourced. It also is adding 80,000 sq. ft. in new production space and will eventually add a new facility.

“Ontario’s aerospace sector must continue to invest in technology and innovation to stay ahead in a fiercely competitive global market. This project reinforces Cyclone’s growth trajectory and brings more skilled manufacturing jobs to the Mississauga region,” said Brad Duguid, minister of economic development and growth.
