The new site is expected to open in July 2024. Axium has 20 manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico and employs over 3,600 employees.
“We are excited to invest and partner with the City of Brampton, and Ontario as a part of our continued expansion in the North American market,“ said Paul Judge, president, Axium Packaging.
