Aurora's Industrial Corridor
Aurora's Industrial Parkway and Wellington Street corridor are home to a growing number of manufacturers, equipment dealers, and businesses that ship goods across Ontario and beyond. Whether it's precision components heading to a plant in the GTA or industrial machinery being relocated across the country, the Highway 404 corridor provides direct access to Toronto and the broader Ontario manufacturing network.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, stacking requirements, and destination conditions all factor into the build. For Aurora's manufacturers and equipment dealers, that means crates built right the first time and cargo that arrives intact.
