Oakville's Corporate and Manufacturing Base
Oakville is one of Ontario's most established corporate and manufacturing addresses — home to Ford Motor Company of Canada's headquarters, a growing pharmaceutical and biotech sector, and an expanding industrial base in the North Oakville Trafalgar corridor. Companies here ship a wide range of high-value cargo: automotive components, precision medical instruments, corporate equipment, and some of the most valuable fine art and collectibles in the region.
Oakville businesses ship at both ends of the spectrum — fragile items like fine art, pharmaceutical instruments, and sensitive electronics that need precision packaging, and heavier manufacturing equipment that demands load-rated crates with proper blocking and bracing. At Argos Crating, every crate is assessed individually for weight, fragility, and destination. For Oakville's corporate shippers and manufacturers, that means the right crate for the job, every time.
