Gelpax Expands North American Footprint with New Texas and Ontario Facilities
What happened
Gelpax, a company founded in British Columbia, has expanded its operations across North America. The company opened a 5,000-square-foot factory in the Dallas-Fort Worth area last year. Further expansion includes establishing facilities in Grapevine, Texas, and maintaining operations in London, Ontario. The move to Grapevine, Texas, was motivated by economic considerations, specifically the uncertainty caused by tariffs on cross-border shipping.

Why it matters
The expansion reflects economic pressures facing Canadian businesses, as the company sought to reduce the uncertainty of shipping products across the border. The company's earlier relocation from British Columbia to London, Ontario, was also driven by economic considerations regarding manufacturing location.
