Advanced Manufacturing

British Columbia has well-established production capabilities with a secure and stable energy supply. Being located on the Pacific Rim allows B.C. to be in close proximity to low cost components and materials from Asian suppliers as well as create links for exportation. The Combined cost of labour, transportation, utilities and taxes is less expensive than other west coast locations and our well-developed research infrastructure further add to the incentives that come with locating in beautiful British Columbia.

The Provincial government has also implemented significant reduction in tax rates, including no sales tax on production machinery.
