Geographic Distribution of Panel Building Operations

Panel Builders

November 21, 2017

Panel building operations are present in all regions of Canada. However, Ontario has the largest number at 50% which is largely driven by the high number of general and automatoive manufacturing within the province.

Western Canada follows with 23% which is primarily focused within the Oil & Gas industry and Renewable Energy sector.

Quebec comes in just behind Western Canada with 20%. Quebec is driven by a wider network of industry sectors and represents a hub of component and control system manufacturing that services the province and a wider product distribution network.
