Avanti Advanced Manufacturing’s Canadian predecessor saw much of its sales coming from the U.S. and wanted to further grow that presence while saving on shipping and exporting costs. The proximity to the company’s Waterloo headquarters was also a convenient factor. Invest Buffalo Niagara (InBN) helped set up meetings with cross-border experts and service providers. InBN also managed the project’s site search and supplied supporting workforce data.
Within four years, Avanti Advanced Manufacturing has expanded on top of its original 20,000 sq. ft. building, adding a second building of 80,000 sq. ft., both in the city of Buffalo.
“I would have never guessed I’d be this busy in my Buffalo Niagara facility,” Wei said.
