Plant Products moves to Ancaster


A Leamington-based company has moved one of its distribution centres to Ancaster industrial park from Brampton to be closer to its customers.

Gordon Jahn, a spokesperson, said Plant Products was purchased by MGS of Leamington about a year ago, but the company decided to retain its brand name.

Plant Products primarily serves the horticultural industry, golf courses and lawn care companies with fertilizers, pest control products and seeds. It has 30 employees at the Ancaster office where it relocated last December.

"This location works out extremely well," said Jahn. "We're not in gridlock in Toronto, but we're close enough to go there if need be. But the main thing is that we are so close to the greenhouse industry in Niagara and near all the highways to reach other parts of Ontario."

The company is projecting about 6 to 7 per cent growth this year as a whole, he said.

Plant Products is hosting an open house for customers at the end of June.
