Canplas Industries in Barrie is loading up.
The plastics construction company, located at 31 Patterson Rd., near Tiffin Street and Highway 400, wants to build a new loading dock area at its existing site.
The 2,250-square-metre dock is in addition to the existing 15,463 square metre building.
Canplas began as a manufacturer of ABS and PVC pipe fittings for the plumbing industry in 1966.
As Canplas engineers pioneered new plumbing products and injection moulding techniques, however, it saw how that expertise could serve other construction markets.
Today, Canplas manufactures high-quality plumbing, ventilation, central vacuum and grease separation products for residential and commercial buildings throughout North America.
Canplas holds more than 70 patents and design registrations for products.
Headquartered in Barrie, Canplas has offices in Edmonton and Langley, B.C.
