Newmarket's Healthcare and Industrial Corridor
Newmarket's Highway 404 corridor connects one of York Region's most active business communities directly to the GTA — and Southlake Regional Health Centre makes it one of the strongest healthcare shipping markets north of Toronto. Medical suppliers, equipment dealers, and manufacturers here ship precision instruments, lab equipment, and industrial goods that require proper crating to survive transit intact.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, temperature sensitivity, and destination all factor into the build. For Newmarket's businesses and healthcare suppliers, that means crates built to the right standard, on your timeline.
