Axiom creates jobs, boosts production for new part development

Auto supplier Axiom Group Inc. is adding 95 jobs and boosting production as it begins injection molding a proprietary airflow circulation exhauster.

The Aurora, Ont.-based company received a $2.4 million grant from the Ontario Next Generation of Jobs Fund to assist in financing and development of the part.

“The support from the McGuinty government helps us to accelerate our growth plans and make the investments in our operations and workforce that allow us to remain competitive. Their support in commercializing our new technology and the skilled and educated workforce anchors our investment in Ontario,” said Perry Rizzo, president of Axiom Group.

Axiom is a supplier for Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, and also supplies other auto parts companies. The company is investing $16 million in the new technology.
