Grimsby's QEW Corridor
Grimsby sits at the western edge of the Niagara Peninsula, where the QEW connects Hamilton's industrial zone with the wine country of the Niagara Escarpment and the US border crossings at Niagara Falls and Fort Erie. The town's business mix includes food processing, winery equipment, light manufacturing, and QEW corridor logistics - a broader range of industries than most Niagara communities. For export shipments to the United States, ISPM-15 certified wood packaging is required at all land border crossings. That requirement applies to Grimsby exporters regardless of which border crossing they use or which carrier they book.
