Government of Canada Supports Growth of Family-Owned Manufacturer

March 16, 2022

International Women’s Day is a globally-recognized celebration of the critical social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. In Canada, women entrepreneurs play a vital role in our country’s economy yet continue to face barriers to success. The Government of Canada is committed to driving a strong, inclusive economic future that addresses systemic gaps and empowers women in our economy.

Today, the Honourable Helena Jaczek, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), announced a Government of Canada investment of $755,500 through the Jobs and Growth Fund (JGF) to Lubecore International Inc., to modernize and enhance operations at its manufacturing facility, create jobs, and lay the foundation for future growth.

Founded in 2008 by Linda Eisses and her husband Jan Eisses, Lubecore International Inc. is a market leading manufacturer of automated greasing systems. The company is contributing to sustainability in the many sectors they serve by manufacturing products that increase the longevity of machinery. With this investment delivered by FedDev Ontario, Lubecore will be able to purchase equipment to modernize its Campbellville production facility, adopt digital technologies to grow their operations and begin producing parts that have traditionally been made outside of Canada. This federal government support will ensure Lubecore remains competitive and well-positioned for long term stability and growth and create 15 new skilled jobs.

Through the Jobs and Growth Fund, the Government of Canada is committed to helping businesses and organizations build resiliency, enhance competitiveness, create jobs and transition to a green and inclusive economy.
