Soluroc, a parts manufacturer for the mining and heavy industrial sector, is investing $5.4 million to expand its facility in Cobourg, Ontario. The company will add 18,000 square feet to its existing site and install advanced manufacturing equipment, including CNC-controlled waterjet cutters and automated welding systems. The expansion will create 12 new jobs whilst retaining 27 existing positions. It will also enable Soluroc to reshore manufacturing capabilities currently outsourced to suppliers in the United States and Europe. The Ontario government is supporting the project with $500,000 through its Regional Development Programme's Eastern Ontario Development Programme. The province has supported over 215 projects through the programme, leveraging more than $2.8 billion in investments and creating over 5,900 jobs.

GreenFirst Forest Products has secured C$7.5 million from the Government of Ontario to upgrade its Chapleau facility. The funding includes C$5.9 million through the Forest Sector Investment and Innovation Program for a new sawline and high-speed planer, provided as a performance-based loan with up to 50% forgiveness. An additional C$1.6 million from the Forest Biomass Program will support feasibility work for a potential torrefied pellet facility. If developed, the pellet facility could create 30 direct and 70 indirect jobs whilst exploring new markets for forest biomass. Both the sawline and planer are installed and ramping up operations. Since 2021, GreenFirst has invested over C$70 million across its Ontario facilities.

Ontario-based HYGN Energy is developing hydrogen energy storage solutions for industrial power and off-grid electric vehicle charging through a new project funded by the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN). The project represents a total investment of over $2 million, including up to $696,000 from the Province of Ontario and over $1.2 million in industry contributions. HYGN Energy, partnering with Rainbow Concrete Industries and Debwewin-HYGN Technologies, will demonstrate its HYGN Hydrogen Battery at an active industrial site. The system stores electrical energy by producing hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, then converts it back to electricity through combustion-based power generation. Unlike conventional batteries, the technology does not use a fuel cell and produces hydrogen on-site from electricity and water, eliminating the need for specialised hydrogen infrastructure.
