Home to the World's Largest Automakers


Ontario's vehicle assembly sector is on a roll, fuelled by a well-earned reputation for consistently superior quality, productivity and innovation.

Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Suzuki and Toyota all build vehicles in Ontario and we're one of few jurisdictions that can make that claim.

Since October 2004, the big five have committed close to $7 billion in increased manufacturing and R&D capabilities in Ontario.

The investments these international automakers and parts manufacturers are making are positioning Ontario as one of the best places anywhere to design, develop and manufacture vehicles. In the past four years investments have topped $10 billion.
