Real Stories - Testimonials

Listening to the voice of business helps to understand and reveal the reasons why a particular location is the right place to be. From businesses newly arriving to Ajax, to business that have been here for decades, the rationale of why they are in Ajax is that they have discovered the ingredients to create success. Here is what some of our businesses have to say about the Town:

"Messier-Dowty is the world leader in the design, manufacture and support of landing gear systems. We have been in Ajax for over 50 years. Dealings with the Town have been very good. Ajax is reactive to business needs ... proactive in terms of trying to help local businesses. The area provides all the amenities you would need ... all sizes of houses ... education infrastructure and recreational facilities." 

   - Barry Wohl, VP Human Resources and Administration Messier-Dowty Inc.

"We love being in Ajax. Over the last 20 years we have built our business here and we are interested in building our business even more in the years to come. We have found land prices to be reasonable and available."

- Allan Gilchrist, President Nokia Products Ltd.

"Our location decision in Ajax has worked out extremely well. Parts delivery is far more efficient because of access to southern Ontario’s major artery - the 401. Being right here makes it absolutely perfect."

- Colin Gurr, VP Operations Volkswagen Canada Inc.

"Lifestyle Sunrooms is the largest manufacturer of sunrooms in Canada. Our 401 location we enjoy has given us not only great retail exposure but also a convenient shipping location for our dealer network. Our employees have also enjoyed the convenient and easy access to work each day through the local transit system. Over the past 10 years the employees at the Town of Ajax have gone out of their way to make doing business with them enjoyable. One of the best decisions our company has made was to relocate in Ajax."

- Bill Carroll, President Lifestyle Sunrooms
