Alberta Oil Sands

If you’re an Ontario manufacturer looking for new markets the Alberta Oil Sands may offer an enormous opportunity.

The oil sands are expected to generate capital projects worth $160 billion by 2020, an unprecedented demand that’s forced energy suppliers to go outside the province for manufacturing capacity.

The Ontario government, in partnership with our manufacturing industry, Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and the Alberta and federal governments, has built a “made-in-Canada” solution, matching Alberta energy suppliers with Ontario manufacturers.

Key areas of opportunity for Ontario manufacturers include:

  • coatings and heat-treating
  • engineering and construction
  • environmental technologies
  • fabricated metal products
  • industrial accommodation
  • industrial machinery and equipment
  • infrastructure
  • machine shops
  • pre-fabricated housing
  • structural steel
  • tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers.

Ontario manufacturers interested in working with Alberta companies are encouraged to submit a profile detailing their capabilities on our online Directory of Ontario Manufacturers and Suppliers – and energy companies looking for technologies, products and services are invited to search it.

In the three years we’ve been offering this service, Alberta companies in the oils sands have sourced tens of millions of dollars worth of expertise from Ontario.
