Etobicoke's 427 Industrial Corridor
Etobicoke sits at one of the GTA's most connected industrial intersections — where Highway 427 meets the 401, 400, and QEW, with Pearson International Airport minutes away. The Rexdale Business Park, Carlingview Drive, and Dixon Road corridors are home to a dense concentration of aerospace suppliers, manufacturers, and industrial businesses that ship precision components and heavy cargo every week.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, stacking requirements, and destination all factor into the build. For Etobicoke's manufacturers and aerospace suppliers, that means crates built to spec, on schedule, and ready for the route.
