Running a business in Toronto brings many benefits, proximity to clients, access to labor, and being in the heart of Canada’s economic hub. However, the high costs of operating in Toronto are increasingly difficult for manufacturers to deal with. Rent, labor, utilities, and property taxes continue to rise, placing pressure on companies to hike prices or cut corners. At Seaborn Manufacturing, we believe businesses shouldn’t have to compromise on quality or pay more to get reliable production services. That’s why we’ve strategically chosen to base our plant operations in Waterloo, offering the same top-tier capabilities as a Toronto-based provider—without the Toronto based expenses.
Seaborn the Smarter Manufacturing Partner Just Outside of Toronto
Seaborn Manufacturing provides full production fabrication services, including but not limited to laser cutting, laser welding, tube laser and robotic welding. Seaborn service clients from Windsor to Ottawa and extending north to Sudbury covering most of Ontario. Seaborn had clients in the GTA for years, and we understand that logistics and delivery timelines are essential to keeping their businesses running smoothly. This is why our location in Waterloo is ideal: we offer convenient access to the GTA with no difference in delivery cost compared to local Toronto providers.
Clients benefit from working with a local Canadian company that understands the market but operates in a more cost effective environment. This allows us to pass on savings while delivering precision and reliability that’s second to none.
The Rising Costs of Doing Business in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s most expensive city. Industrial lease rates in the GTA have seen constant sky rocketing year over year increases, and available space is limited. High costs for property taxes, and employee wages also contribute to a growing burden on Toronto businesses. This affects what businesses need to charge to keep their doors open. This especially hits services like any Toronto laser services, which require both large machines, a lot of raw goods storage and quite a bit of finished good storage space. These needs for expensive real estate hit them over and over again.
For many businesses, this means fewer options and higher costs for services such as laser cut parts, robotic welding, or high-volume production fabrication.
