Expansion at a Woodstock industrial facility related to the auto industry is wrapping paper and a bow on a good year by the city’s economic development office.
Skilled Labour
North American Stamping Group (NASG) officially announced today (Dec 11) that their manufacturing location on Pattullo Ridge on the south side of the 401 will be enlarged by approximately 70,000 sq ft, which will result in as many as 60 new jobs in the space added for both manufacturing and warehousing – and employment of skilled labour such as tool-and-die, engineering and design.
Mayor Pat Sobeski commented about the good news announcement in a press release, which was broadcast today on Heart FM.
“. . . It’s a growing company and it’s a credit to the management here that they’ve been able to convince the board of this multi-national (corporation) that the place to locate this addition is in Woodstock.”
Originally known as Woodstock Stampings, this company provides metal stampings and some assemblies to the auto industry. NASG in its release complemented its employees via its announcement.
“This expansion has been made possible through the support of our customers and the incredible work ethic and dedication of our associates who always find a way to get a challenging job done.”
Woodstock itself will have to make an investment for the added employment as some hydro services and a roadway have to be modified, but NASG (Email: info.canada@nasg.net; www.northamericanstamping.com) did purchase land as well.
To give you an idea of the addition size, their current factory is 150,000 sq ft, and if the addition was square it would be about 265 ft x 265 ft.
Woodstock Chamber Award
In 2008, the company won an Outstanding Achievement manufacturing award at the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce awards dinner.
By the way, the company’s website is already advertising for six employment vacancies at its Woodstock location.
