Situated close to major highways, the Port of Montreal and the proposed CN Rail Milton Logistics Hub, the site has been described as a key node for the group\u2019s North American supply chain and export operations.<\/p>\n

Angelcare Group CEO Rahul Sharda stated: \u201cThis strategic investment reflects our confidence in Canada as the cornerstone of Angelcare\u2019s global operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new packaging and distribution centre in Milton represents more than just an expansion of our footprint \u2014 it is a bold step forward in strengthening our supply chain, creating new opportunities for our people, and ensuring we deliver the quality, service and innovation our customers expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The centre will create 15 full\u2011time positions in the beginning, with numbers planned to double as production increases and exports to the US and other markets expand.<\/p>\n

An automated packaging line installed at the site has a stated annual capacity of 4.6 million boxes.<\/p>\n

The building has room and infrastructure to house two more lines in the future.<\/p>\n

The site will package Litter Genie Light, a cat litter product manufactured from Canadian bentonite clay.<\/p>\n

The product is additive\u2011free, 99% dust\u2011free and 20% lighter than other national brands.<\/p>\n

Sustainability measures were incorporated during development, including lighting, HVAC systems [heating, lighting and air conditioning] and logistics planning intended to lessen transport emissions.<\/p>\n

The company also outlined plans for the Milton centre to develop into an innovation hub, with an on\u2011site research and development laboratory, demonstration space and training centre to support product development and cross\u2011functional work across its portfolio.<\/p>\n
