Background
The Ivaco Rolling Mills Steel Plant began operating in 2013. The Ivaco company itself and its original rolling mill were established in 1970 and acquired by Heico Companies in 2004.[1]The steel plant supplies products to both Canadian and international markets.[1]
In 2012, Ivaco Rolling Mills undertook an 80 million CAD (including a contribution of close to 10 million CAD through FedDev Ontario's Prosperity Initiative) project to expand and upgrade its steel plant.[2] In 2019, Glengarry-Prescott-Russell MP Francis Drouin announced $18 million in funding for Heico, the parent company of Ivaco Rolling Mills, for upgrades across the company's steel plants. The funding would be used specifically at the L'Original plant to restore 50 jobs that had been lost earlier in the year.[3] In 2025, Ivaco laid off 150 people due to US tariffs affecting the Canadian steel industry.[4]
