Establishment Staff photo New business in industrial park a ~Tom Massey The old Stewarts Wholesale building in Penetanguishene's industrial park is the site of a new business under the direction of Tom Massey. The business, to be named after its foun- der, will specialize in manufacturing corrugated cardboard containers, similar to the type used packaging beer. After two and a half months of planning, Mr. Massey and family are just getting started on the actual concrete renovations to the building. The largest piece of machinery to be used in the operation will come from New Jersey, and will arrive in three tractor trailers. According to Mr. Massey, the machine takes raw cardboard in one end and sends out finished packages of various sizes. Including installation costs, the machine is worth $400,000 and according to Mr. Massey, it is the most advanced machine of its type. The new business could have been located in either Midland or Penetanguishene, Mr. Massey explained, but the 8,000 square foot Stewart building was available and serviced, thanks to the way Penetanguishene's in- dustrial park is layed out. As well as the building itself, Mr. Massey has first rights on buying or renting land surrounding the building. Mr. Massey and his family have been residents of the area for a number of years. Previously, he was employed at Domtar Manufacturing, one of the largest manufacturers of cardboard containers. The new packaging design company will create a number of jobs in the area, and Mr. Massey says he will hire locally where possible. He'll be taking applications for plant positions around the end of this month, and hopes that by fall he'll employ from 12 to 15 people in the plant section of the new company. Unlike many larger companies, Mr. Massey is establishing his business here to serve the regional market. He hopes to sell packaging to the Penetanguishene, Midland, Collingwood, Orillia area. According to Mr. Massey, many big companies have plants in this area, but often most of their money goes to larger centres such as Toronto. He explained that with a small business, catering to the local market, most of the money stays in the area and thus benefits the local economy. Mr. Massey is extremely pleased with the co-operation he received from local politicians and the industrial commission. "They really helped a lot, and made it easy to set up a business in the area,"' he said.
