B.S.B. Manufacturing secures $1.2M in federal funding to enhance EV parts production capabilities

B.S.B. Manufacturing (B.S.B), a Burlington-based machined components and parts manufacturer serving the automotive, agricultural and industrial product markets, is receiving $1.2 million to seize future growth in the industry with the addition of new automated production equipment and facility upgrades.

This investment will reportedly increase the company’s capacity to produce EV and hybrid vehicle components and fulfill new contracts within the EV industry.

The Honourable Filomena Tassi, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) visited the manufacturer to meet with employees and learn about the company’s ongoing shift to manufacture parts for electric vehicles. Minister Tassi was joined by Pam Damoff, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Consular Affairs) and Member of Parliament for Oakville North–Burlington.

“Today, as we embark on a new chapter with EV and hybrid solutions for our customers, we are paving the way for the future of competitive manufacturing in Canada—one that requires constant innovation. B.S.B. is built on a strong foundation of high-quality products, in-house expertise and cutting-edge solutions. Thanks to the FedDev Ontario funding, we’ve been able to invest in new machinery, tooling, automation and robotics, ensuring that we can retain direct and indirect manufacturing jobs in Canada,” said Narinder Bhogal, P.Eng, president of B.S.B. Manufacturing.

According to a statement from FedDev Ontario, this funding is part of a combined investment of more than $12 million to help six manufacturers scale up EV production: B.S.B. Manufacturing, Can Art Aluminum Extrusion Canada, Clover Tool Manufacturing, CMP Automation, Electrovaya and Marwood International. By expanding production capabilities and adopting new equipment, Ontario companies are meeting the growing demand for innovative production capabilities to feed the EV supply chain.

“Southern Ontario has a rapidly growing EV sector and is home to many leading manufacturers across the EV supply chain that are using their expertise and talent to drive our EV sector forward. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting these companies as they help Canada to make progress towards its goal of reaching net-zero emissions and build a competitive EV sector in the region,” said Minister Tassi.
