The Dow Chemical Company, the world leader in materials science innovation and manufacturing, will officially open its new Eastern Canada Regional Sales Center in Toronto on Thursday, May 24. Dow will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside key strategic customers, Canadian government officials, and Dow leadership to celebrate this expansion of the Company’s presence in Canada.

“This facility is a declaration of our ambition to lead with innovation and collaboration to shape the most innovative, customer centric, inclusive and sustainable materials science company in the world,” said Andrew Liveris, chairman and chief executive officer of Dow. “The future Dow is putting customers at the center of what we do, to understand their ideas, their needs and how they want to work with us in this dynamic region of Eastern Canada. We want to sit with them at the design table locally at their facilities and here in our new Toronto Center to create value together.”

The Regional Sales Center will serve as a strategic commercial hub for Dow in Eastern Canada, improving Dow’s customer experience and helping foster co-innovation with customers during a time when the Canadian economy is rapidly expanding. To support this growth, Dow aims to add new commercial positions in the region over the next several months.

“I want to congratulate Dow for expanding its Canadian footprint to Toronto. Opening this new regional sales center shows the dynamism of Canada as a market for materials science and chemistry solutions. It is also a testament to the strategic trade relationship between Canada, Mexico and the United States,” said The Honorable François-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s minister of International Trade. “This time of integrated investment – bringing together Dow’s American manufacturing with Canadian innovation – demonstrates the value of NAFTA as a means to leverage supply chains for the best possible commercial environment. I wish Dow the best with their endeavors, and look forward to our continued partnership to expand trade between our nations.”

“Dow’s growth in Canada demonstrates the strength of our partnership,” commented Canadian Ambassador to the United States, David McNaughton. “Combining American and Canadian innovation is an unparalleled opportunity for growth, in our bilateral partnership and for North America’s competitiveness in the global economy.”
