Crawford Packaging broke ground Wednesday for the company’s new commercial development in the Highway 3 Corridor in Essec.

The new 25,000 square foot development off Maidstone Avenue in Essex Centre, will provide ten jobs with a future expansion in mind.

Crawford Packaging, which has locations throughout Ontario, was established in 1963. It provides packaging solutions for clients around the world. In the Essex region, the company focuses on packaging for local produce.

“The Town of Essex is in an ideal geography for Crawford. While it is adjacent to the heart of the produce market, it also provides great accessibility to industrial markets from Windsor to Chatham,” said John Ashby, President of Crawford Packaging. “From the moment we began working with the Town of Essex we were supported and felt we had a partner to help make our project happen. It is this partnership and the level of personal contact provided by Essex that ensured any obstacles in the planning and approval processes were overcome.”
