Pickering's Industrial Corridor
Pickering sits at Durham Region's western edge — the first industrial city east of Toronto, with the Highway 401 and 407 interchange putting it within easy reach of the entire GTA. The Brock Road and Squires Beach Road corridor is home to a wide mix of manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and industrial businesses shipping components, machinery, and commercial cargo across Ontario and internationally. For companies here, the logistics access is unmatched — and so are the crating demands.
At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight, fragility, stacking requirements, and destination all factor into the build. Proper blocking, bracing, and load distribution protect cargo through ground freight, long-haul transit, and international handling. For Pickering's manufacturers and industrial operators, that means crates built right the first time.
