Despite a decline in oil prices, growth is forecasted for the Canadian manufacturing industry thanks to a lower dollar.
From June 15-17, 2015, thousands of manufacturers are expected to attend Western Canada’s largest manufacturing event, the Western Manufacturing Technology Show (WMTS) in Edmonton, as rising export profits enable local businesses to invest in new production technologies that are necessary to improve their competitive edge.
Through state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, educational sessions and networking opportunities, WMTS provides an unprecedented venue to help ensure the continued long-term success of Western manufacturers.
