London Company Gets Boost From Government

Artisan Metal Finishing is getting nearly $1-million for expansion and to improve production.

The loan of $974,338 is from FedDev Ontario's Investing in Business Growth and Productivity initiative.

The project is expected to create up to 11 full-time jobs and another ten jobs in the next two years.

"Our Government continues to invest in innovative companies like this one and we will continue to invest in our dynamic manufacturing sector," says London North Centre MP Susan Truppe. "We look forward to seeing Artisan's progress in this project and we look forward to seeing more success stories like this one."

Artisan Metal Finishing provides corrosion protection and decorative finishes for metal used by manufacturers in the automotive and plumbing industries.

The investment will allow the company to provide new and automated metal finishing services to new and existing markets, and increase exports to the United States.
