Orangeville | February 20th, 2026 — The Ontario government is welcoming an investment of $1,674,016 by EcoTank Canada (“EcoTank”), a distributer of washer fluid dispenser, to increase their domestic manufacturing capabilities and create 30 new, good-paying jobs in Dufferin-Caledon.
The investment was announced today by Sylvia Jones, Member of Provincial Parliament for Dufferin-Caledon.
“By supporting strategic investments from regional businesses, our government is protecting Ontario’s workers and creating the conditions for a strong, stable, and resilient economy that can weather any storm,” said MPP Jones “EcoTank’s investment will support growth and innovation across the local manufacturing sector and create more good-paying jobs for workers and families in Orangeville.”
With this investment, EcoTank will build a new facility in Dufferin County and expand their production capabilities through the installation of a new assembly line. The new facility and assembly line will allow EcoTank to reshore the manufacturing of their washer fluid dispensers from Europe to Ontario, allowing the company to keep costs low and securing major contracts within the retail trade industry. The project will also hold broader supply-chain benefits for the province, as 90 per cent of the supporting materials will also be sourced exclusively from Ontario suppliers.
“EcoTank is transforming the way consumers refill washer fluid in their vehicles by offering a solution that is not only more convenient, but significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional plastic jugs,” said Robbie Mair, CEO and Founder of EcoTank. “With the support of the Government of Ontario, we’ve accelerated our growth and established a new facility in Dufferin County, enabling us to manufacture our bulk washer fluid dispensers locally and export them across North America.”
In support of this investment, the government is providing EcoTank with $239,102 in funding through the Regional Development Program’s Southwestern Ontario Development Fund (SWODF).
“Employing more than 800,000 workers across the province, Ontario’s manufacturing sector is the economic engine of our nation,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Our government is proud to support local companies like EcoTank as they expand their operations, and we thank them for their contributions to Ontario’s dynamic and growing manufacturing ecosystem.”
Ontario is investing over $230 million through its Regional Development Program to help manufacturers across the province grow while supporting distinct regional priorities. To date, Ontario has supported more than 180 projects through the program, leveraging over $2.6 billion in new investments, and helping to create more than 5,500 jobs.
QUICK FACTS
The government launched the Regional Development Program (RDP) for eastern and southwestern regions of Ontario in November 2019. Through this program, businesses and municipalities can get financial support and guided access to a range of complementary services and supports.
In 2022, the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC) stream of the RDP was launched to support advanced manufacturers across the province. Ontario is now providing additional funds to enhance the AMIC stream that will help more firms with the financial support and tools needed to improve competitiveness, while strengthening essential supply chains.
The government continues to provide tax support to Ontario manufacturers by continuing to offer the Ontario Made Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit to eligible businesses.
Additionally, Ontario has launched a new $150 million Ontario Together Trade Fund to assist local businesses in taking advantage of new interprovincial trade opportunities.
