An Ontario-based company has selected the city of Morden as the location for its brand new manufacturing facility.

Canadian truck equipment supplier Drive Products announced this week it is expanding its manufacturing division Voth West and plans to build a brand new facility in the Morden industrial park.

According to a company news release, Drive Products had originally planned on building the plant in the city of Regina but chose instead to locate to Morden due to strategic purposes.

The Voth West facility will produce a mix of truck bodies and truck-mounted equipment for its western Canadian markets.

The company has not indicated when construction on the new facility will begin.

This space off Jefferson Street will soon be home to the new plant
