Markham's Highway 7 Technology Corridor
Markham's Highway 7 corridor is home to some of Canada's most active technology and manufacturing businesses — IBM, AMD, Huawei, Motorola Solutions, and hundreds of suppliers shipping precision equipment, electronics, and components every week. ESD damage, vibration, and humidity can destroy sensitive components that look fine on the outside but fail on arrival — standard packaging doesn't cut it for this kind of cargo.
At Argos Crating, we build ESD-safe, anti-static crates engineered for Markham's tech corridor — assessing every shipment individually for weight, fragility, stacking, and destination. For Markham's electronics manufacturers and equipment dealers, that means cargo that arrives intact and ready to use.
