Ajax's 401 Distribution Corridor
Ajax's Highway 401 corridor and industrial areas along Westney Road and Audley Road are home to a concentration of distribution centres, warehouses, and manufacturers — one of the key logistics nodes between Toronto and Durham Region. Not everything moving through this corridor can go on a standard pallet. High-value equipment, fragile instruments, and oversized industrial goods require wooden crates with precision blocking and bracing to survive transit intact, and ISPM-15 certified crating is a legal requirement for anything heading to international markets.
At Argos Crating, we build to order — every crate sized and engineered for the specific item, the specific route. For Ajax's distribution operators and manufacturers, that means no damaged goods, no delays at customs, no surprises.
