Vaughan's Industrial Corridor

Vaughan's Highway 400 corridor and Woodbridge industrial area are home to one of York Region's most active manufacturing communities — metal fabricators, equipment dealers, and industrial suppliers shipping goods across Ontario, Canada, and internationally. The 400 connects directly to Northern Ontario, while the 407 opens access east and west. Metal fabrications, structural components, and heavy machinery require crates built to exact specs, with proper blocking and bracing to handle the weight, vibration, and handling of long-haul ground freight.

At Argos Crating, we assess each item individually — weight distribution, fragility, stacking requirements, and destination conditions all factor into the build. For Vaughan's manufacturers and equipment dealers, that means crates that arrive at the plant or warehouse intact, every time.
