WINDSOR, Ontario, April 3, 2025 – Invest Ontario is supporting Minth Group’s nearly $300 million investment to establish a new auto parts manufacturing facility in Windsor, Ontario. This marks the Taiwanese-Canadian owned company’s first manufacturing expansion in Canada, bringing 1,099 new jobs to the local economy and a world-class supplier to the province’s auto sector.

Spanning up to one million square feet, the multi-building facility will produce essential components for both conventional and electric vehicles including metal EV battery housing units and plastic exterior parts such as bumpers, grilles, and tailgates.

Being a global company supporting global OEMs in many countries around the world, Ontario is a very important and exciting new addition to our portfolio of world-class manufacturing facilities. Especially with our Canadian roots, we are very excited to announce this investment and we look forward to the strong support of the local community to help us produce a highly competitive and sustainable operation for the foreseeable future.

Minth Group’s investment will be supported with a loan of up to $40 million through the Invest Ontario Fund, subject to reaching a definitive agreement.

By bringing another leading global supplier to Ontario, this project will build additional domestic manufacturing capacity and provide automakers with more diversified sourcing options. It will enhance Ontario’s supply chain resilience and reinforce its leadership in auto manufacturing, while creating over a thousand new jobs to further economic development in Windsor.

Ontario’s auto manufacturing sector is a pillar of our economy, attracting billions of dollars of investment and creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs for Ontario workers throughout our domestic electric vehicle supply chain. We’re pleased to welcome this investment from Minth here in Windsor, which demonstrates that despite U.S. tariffs and in the face of global uncertainty, Ontario remains a world-class destination for investment and manufacturing.
