By putting their constituents first, they consistently demonstrated a desire to achieve greater things for Brantford Brant by working together.  As we face new economic and global uncertainties, the principles of cooperation, trust, and vision can help us make a difference in our community and in our businesses.

But ample, appropriate space can be difficult to find and costly to develop. As businesses grow in Brantford and as new industry considers our community, the market will demand future-readiness and available stock. What is the path to efficient and effective industrial development? In this session, we invite you to take the mystery out of the planning and building process to consider opportunities to streamline business, investment, development, real estate, and municipal needs.</li></ul></li></ul>SPONSORS Premier (alphabetically) <ul><li>Cozzmic -  Communications * Technology * Security  </li><li>Elastochem Specialty Chemicals Inc.</li><li>Enbridge Gas Inc.  </li><li>Gizeh Packaging NA Inc.  </li><li>GrandBridge Energy Inc.  </li><li>Miura Canada Co ., Ltd</li><li>Wilfried Laurier University</li></ul>Cafe (alphabetically)<ul><li>CBRE Limited, Real Estate Brokerage</li><li>GreenMantra Recycling Technologies Ltd</li><li>McWinn Brantford</li><li>Patriot Forge Corporation</li><li>Sigma Compressor Inc.</li></ul>Technology<ul><li>Pynx Productions</li></ul>EXHIBITORS<ul><li>ACi Industrial &gt;&gt; Industrial Infrastructure</li><li>Affix Label &amp; Print Inc. &gt;&gt; Printing</li><li>Applied Industrial Technologies &gt;&gt; Industrial Supply</li><li>averyprint.ca &gt;&gt; Printing, sign making</li><li>BDC &gt;&gt; Commercial Banking</li><li>Bropak Inc. &gt;&gt; Manufacturing</li><li>CBRE Limited, Real Estate Brokerage &gt;&gt; Commercial Real Estate</li><li>Chairmen Managed Storage &amp; 3PL &gt;&gt; Warehousing &amp; 3PL</li><li>Chamber Of Commerce Brantford-Brant &gt;&gt; Administration and Communications</li><li>Charles Jones Industrial Limited &gt;&gt; Industrial Supply Distributor</li><li>Container Pros &gt;&gt; 3PL Warehouse &amp; Logistics</li><li>Copeland Canada &gt;&gt; HVAC/Refrigeration</li><li>Cozzmic - Communications * Technology * Security &gt;&gt; Telecommunications / Security</li><li>Cram-A-Lot Canada Inc. o/a BINPAK Compactors &gt;&gt; Compactor Manufacturing</li><li>Crown Lift Trucks &gt;&gt; Material Handling Manufacturer</li><li>EDC &gt;&gt; Export Credit and Support</li><li>Elastochem Specialty Chemicals Inc &gt;&gt; Construction, Industrial and Specialty Applications</li><li>Enbridge Gas Inc. &gt;&gt; Utilities</li><li>Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium &gt;&gt; National Manufacturing Association</li><li>Fedcap Canada &gt;&gt; Workforce and Employment Services</li><li>FedDev Ontario &gt;&gt; Federal Program</li><li>Gerrie Electric Supply &gt;&gt; Electrical Wholesale</li><li>Gizeh Packaging NA Inc. &gt;&gt; Gizeh Packaging NA Inc.</li><li>GrandBridge Energy Inc. &gt;&gt; Utilities</li><li>GreenMantra Recycling Technologies Ltd &gt;&gt; Chemical Manufacturing</li><li>GreenSpace Waste Solutions &gt;&gt; Environmental</li><li>Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority &gt;&gt; Port</li><li>Holiday Inn Express &amp; Suites Brantford &gt;&gt; Hotel &amp; Motel</li><li>Home2 Suites by Hilton Brantford &gt;&gt; Hospitality</li><li>Hotline Apparel Systems &gt;&gt; Custom Apparel and Promotional Products</li><li>HT Industrial Ltd &gt;&gt; Industrial Refrigeration</li><li>Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada &gt;&gt; Economic Immigration</li><li>KoolJet Inc. &gt;&gt; Manufacturing</li><li>McWinn Brantford &gt;&gt; Industrial Filtration</li><li>Millennium Security Services &gt;&gt; Electronic Security</li><li>Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade &gt;&gt; Province of Ontario</li><li>Mitsui High-tec (Canada), Inc. &gt;&gt; Automotive Manufacturing</li><li>Miura Canada Co ., Ltd &gt;&gt; Boiler Manufacturer</li><li>NetOptiks (a div. of the Grandbridge Group) &gt;&gt; Telecommunications</li><li>OmniCoil Spring Works Inc. &gt;&gt; Manufacturing</li><li>Ontario Center of Innovation &gt;&gt; Government Funding for Ontario Companies</li><li>Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food &amp; Agribusiness &gt;&gt; Public Sector</li><li>Patriot Forge Corporation &gt;&gt; Metal Forgings</li><li>ProVantage Automation &gt;&gt; Robotics &amp; Automation</li><li>Province Electric Supply &gt;&gt; Electrical wholesale</li><li>Public Storage Brantford &gt;&gt; Real estate, rental and leasing</li><li>Pure Metal Galvanizing ULC. / Valmont &gt;&gt; Steel Industry</li><li>Service Canada - Employment and Social Development Canada &gt;&gt; Employment and Social Development</li><li>Sigma Compressor Inc &gt;&gt; Sales and Service</li><li>Six Nations Polytechnic Career Hub / Six Nations Polytechnic Skilled Trades &gt;&gt; Career and Skilled Trades Post Secondary</li><li>Southwest Safety &amp; Supply &gt;&gt; Industrial/Commercial Safety Supplier/Retailer</li><li>Tees N More &gt;&gt; Custom Apparel and Promotional Products</li><li>The Electricians Inc &gt;&gt; Electrician</li><li>Tompkins Canada &gt;&gt; Manufacturing of Hydraulics</li><li>Trackem GPS &gt;&gt; GPS Tracking</li><li>Trade Commissioner Service of Global Affairs Canada &gt;&gt; Federal Government</li><li>Volm Companies Canada Inc. &gt;&gt; Food Packaging and Machinery</li><li>Wacker Neuson Limited &gt;&gt; Construction Equipment</li><li>Wilfrid Laurier University &gt;&gt; Education</li><li>Workforce Planning Board of Grand Erie &gt;&gt; Workforce Planning</li></ul>
