HUNTSVILLE, Ontario — The Ontario government is investing an additional $425,000 through the Forest Biomass Program to help Daiken North America accelerate production of its new laminated board. This investment will help get a first-of-its-kind wood panel product to market faster, boosting productivity and protecting good-paying local jobs. As part of its plan to protect Ontario, the government is making strategic investments to help forest sector businesses adapt, compete and grow to stay resilient in the face of U.S. tariffs. Today’s announcement builds on the government’s recent investment of $10 million to support Daiken’s $70 million plan to upgrade its laminated board production line at its manufacturing facility in Huntsville. The facility is set to begin manufacturing this summer, creating 10 new good-paying jobs and protecting 128 existing positions.
