There will be more job opportunities for those in the Windsor-Essex region
Magna is expanding its Windsor Modules facility and will be adding approximately 110 new jobs at the facility on Twin Oaks Drive, hiring for various positions including managers, engineers, operators and more.
On Wednesday, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens, representatives from Invest WindsorEssex, and members of City of Windsor administration announced the expansion with a tour of Magna's Windsor Modules facility.
In mid-February, Magna announced an investment to expand their operations across Ontario, and as part of that investment, Magna plans to invest $6-million into its mechatronics plant in Windsor.
Brian Alexander, General Manager of Magna Windsor, says the plant will become a full manufacturing facility.
"There'll be no facility expansion, everything will be contained within these walls. This facility will essentially become a full manufacturing facility. So there'll be some movement of material, etc, to make it to that point and then 110 job opportunities."
Alexander says they are looking forward to continued growth in the region.

"Our focus is operational excellence and innovation. We continue to build trust with our customers which results in winning new business. The latest product offers a new solution to our customers and added to our portfolio that delivers what we promise, and that's innovation and creativity."
Drew Dilkens, Windsor Mayor, says this addition is very exciting news for the city.
"It's a piece of the puzzle. It's a strong piece of the puzzle because Magna has strong roots around the world, they're good at what they do, and being able to add to that here in the City of Windsor is a strong sign that they want to be past of the success that's happening here in our community."
