Burlington's QEW Corridor
Burlington sits at one of Ontario's most important logistics crossroads — the QEW and Highway 403 interchange, connecting Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara, and the US border. For the manufacturers, medical device companies, and distributors based here, getting shipments out reliably and intact is a daily requirement. The same corridor that makes Burlington a logistics hub also puts it within easy reach of Argos Crating's Mississauga facility.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, stacking requirements, and destination all factor into the build. For Burlington's manufacturers and corporate shippers, that means crates built to the right standard, every time.
