CPI launches major expansion

Communications & Power Industries (CPI) executives were joined by Halton Hills representatives last Friday in celebrating the start of a major expansion at the River Drive plant. The three-storey, 62,000 sq. ft. expansion will be added to the existing 125,000 sq. ft. building to allow for new production, equipment and staff. Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
