Manufacturing and Assembly

The Manufacturing Industry is a major economic contributor to Ashcroft and Kamloops with about 120 companies and 7% of the population employed in this sector. Most manufacturing companies serve both the local and regional market including Western Canada, USA, Europe and Asia. About 75% of local manufacturing companies export to international markets. Ashcroft Terminal is an ideal manufacturing location due to affordable industrial zoned sites and access to a well‐trained local labor pool. Further, many services and organizations are already established to support the manufacturing industry such as machine shops, parts and supply distributors and technology providers. In addition to local talent, Ashcroft and Kamloops are attractive communities for individuals or families who would need to relocate to British Columbia.

Ashcroft Terminal can assist companies in the manufacturing and assembly sectors by helping to control costs - including land, labor, and utility costs. Coupled with British Columbia’s already favorable tax regime and access to a robust, diversified transportation network, Ashcroft Terminal is a competitive location for many manufacturing and assembly functions.
