OMRON manufactures relays, switches and electronic control units (ECUs) for the automotive industry.

An established leader in environmental stewardship, OMRON was committed to constructing this new facility in accordance with the LEED-Canada green building initiatives.

The 95,000 sq ft manufacturing and office complex became one of the first LEED Certified industrial buildings in Canada, and the first to achieve a SILVER level of certification.

Notable environmental features include:

            - high performance building envelope

            - triple glazed argon filled windows
