Dow Opens New Sales Center in Toronto

The Dow Chemical Company on May 24 officially opened its new Eastern Canada Regional Sales Center in Toronto. Dow held a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside key strategic customers, Canadian government officials, and Dow leadership to celebrate this expansion of the Company’s presence in Canada.

“This facility is a declaration of our ambition to lead with innovation and collaboration to shape the most innovative, customer centric, inclusive and sustainable materials science company in the world,” said Andrew Liveris, Dow chairman and CEO. “The future Dow is putting customers at the center of what we do, to understand their ideas, their needs and how they want to work with us in this dynamic region of Eastern Canada.”

The Regional Sales Center will serve as a strategic commercial hub for Dow in Eastern Canada, improving Dow’s customer experience and helping foster co-innovation with customers during a time when the Canadian economy is rapidly expanding. To support this growth, Dow aims to add new commercial positions in the region over the next several months.

“Opening this new regional sales center shows the dynamism of Canada as a market for materials science and chemistry solutions. It is also a testament to the strategic trade relationship between Canada, Mexico and the United States,” said The Honorable François-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s minister of International Trade. “This time of integrated investment – bringing together Dow’s American manufacturing with Canadian innovation – demonstrates the value of NAFTA as a means to leverage supply chains for the best possible commercial environment. I wish Dow the best with their endeavors, and look forward to our continued partnership to expand trade between our nations.”

Dow was founded in Midland, Michigan, in 1897 by Herbert H. Dow, a native of Belleville, Ontario. The Company, expanded to Canada in 1942 and has been operating and investing in the country for more than 75 years.
