MADE IN THE EDMONTON METROPOLITAN REGION 

Manufacturing supports machinery-dependent local industries by providing them with the tools and parts that they need to operate. Canadian companies in agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, construction and others spent over $31.4 billion alone on machinery in 2016.

Canada is the world’s 5th largest exporter of agricultural products driving growth and innovation in the agricultural machinery manufacturing sector, producing intelligent farming equipment, world-class air seeders, advanced spraying systems, precision GPS seeding technologies, and harvesting machinery.

Readily-available resources from Canada's oilsands — the world’s 3rd largest oil deposit — and massive natural gas reserves, fuel a prosperous petrochemical cluster. Inputs are easily and affordably transported to the region where they are manufactured into $13.5 billion worth of hydrocarbon feedstocks such as propane, ethylene, cellulose acetate, and polyethylene each year.

A key component to the success of this industry is Alberta's Industrial Heartland, the epicenter of petrochemical processing in Western Canada. More than 40 national and multinational companies operate in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, representing over $40 billion in current capital investment. Featuring world-class infrastructure and logistics support, the Heartland is the ideal location for industry investment.
