NEWS March 18th, 2026
Alexandria — The Ontario government is welcoming an investment of $2,939,009 by Servitek Foussier Inc., a distributor of hardware and weatherstripping material, to expand their footprint in Ontario and create 11 new, good-paying jobs in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.
The investment was announced today by Stephane Sarrazin, Member of Provincial Parliament for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.
“By supporting strategic investments from regional businesses, our government is protecting Ontario’s workers and creating the conditions for a strong, stable, and resilient economy that can weather any storm,” said MPP Sarrazin. “Servitek Foussier Inc.’s investment will support growth and innovation across the local manufacturing sector and create more good-paying jobs for workers and families in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.”
With this investment, Servitek will transform an abandoned industrial site in Alexandria into a modern manufacturing facility, introducing automation, robotic machinery, and a smart warehouse. The project will expand production of weatherstripping products and support the development of a new patented innovation.
By choosing to invest outside of major urban centres such as Montreal, Quebec, the company is helping create local jobs and strengthen the regional economy in Ontario. Investments in new technologies, including laser cutters, automated presses, and robotic systems, will increase productivity while reducing operational costs and external dependencies.
“We are grateful for the support provided through the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. As a business owner from France, expanding Servitek Foussier into a bilingual community in Ontario was very important to us,” said Hugo Foussier, CEO of Servitek Foussier. “This investment allows us to grow our operations, introduce new technologies and create opportunities while becoming part of a strong and dynamic regional economy.”
In support of this investment, the government is providing Servitek Foussier Inc. with $381,451 in funding through the Regional Development Program’s Eastern Ontario Development Fund (EODF).
“Employing more than 800,000 workers across the province, Ontario’s manufacturing sector is the economic engine of our nation,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Our government is proud to support local companies like Servitek Foussier Inc. as they expand their operations, and we thank them for their contributions to Ontario’s dynamic and growing manufacturing ecosystem.”
Ontario is investing over $230 million through its Regional Development Program to help manufacturers across the province grow while supporting distinct regional priorities. To date, Ontario has supported more than 180 projects through the program, leveraging more than $2.6 billion in new investments and helping to create over 5,500 jobs.
QUICK FACTS

- In 2022, the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC) stream of the RDP was launched to support advanced manufacturers across the province. Ontario is now providing additional funds to enhance the AMIC stream that will help more firms with the financial support and tools needed to improve competitiveness, while strengthening essential supply chains.
- The government continues to provide tax support to Ontario manufacturers by continuing to offer the Ontario Made Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit to eligible businesses.
