A Quebec steel company is expanding to Hamilton with a plant in the Red Hill Business Park.
Corbec runs two steel-tip galvanizing plants in Montreal and Quebec City that immerse steel components into vats of molten zinc for corrosion protection.
It is the company's first plant in Ontario. The location of the plant is west of Nebo Road at Twenty.
Details about the size, staffing and timing of plant will be made at an official announcement next week by Corbec CEO John Hall.
Hamilton's economic development department describes it as a "multimillion-dollar" investment.
The Corbec news follows a busy couple of weeks in investment activity in Hamilton, with a total of $870 million in projects announced: DHL's $100-million expansion of airport cargo operations; the launch of Panattoni's $30-million Aeropark warehouse; a $40-million expansion of Mondelez candy plant in west Hamilton; and the pending deal for Hamilton Centre by IN8 Developments that would reinvent the mall in a mixed-used vision of multiple towers for about $700 million.
