Vicwest to open new Western plant

OAKVILLE, Ont. — Vicwest Building Products has announced that it has secured the site of a new manufacturing facility in Edmonton, to open in the first quarter of 2016. With the opening of this new “centre of excellence,” the company confirmed it will close its Delta, B.C., plant at the end of this year. Western customers will be served from the current facilities in Edmonton and Saskatoon in early 2016 until the new Edmonton site is fully operational. “The decision to close the Delta manufacturing plant was not taken lightly,” said president and GM Paul Lobb.
