That’s a Wrap! 

BRIDGING THE GAP:
Uniting Skills & Industry in Mold Making and Plastics Processing

AceConnex, alongside Humber College hosted a tradeshow with Globally recognized manufacturers within Ontario.  


There is a significant shortage of Skilled Trades entering the workforce, which could lead to a massive disruption of Ontario’s robust manufacturing sector. 


We are aiming to re-establish the Plastics Program with Humber College, providing potential graduates with an opportunity to join a dynamic and technologically advanced industry.

Every job in mold making creates two to three more jobs up the supply chain. Amazing but true!

Plastic injection molding is a critical part of the supply chain, and mold making is a critical part of injection molding. In fact, mold making is considered the genesis of manufacturing because you cannot make plastic products without some type of mold to shape them. 

Employment is expected to grow

Ontario, employed 48,625 people in 2021 in the plastics and rubber subsector, a 21.7% increase from the previous year.  Ontario employs 51.4% of the plastics and rubber manufacturing sector for all of Canada.

$4.9B in GDP / 6% overall

The plastics manufacturing subsector in Ontario produced $4.9B in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021, representing 6.1% of the overall manufacturing GDP in the province.

Plastics — the sustainable choice

Life Cycle Assessments demonstrate that plastic is the best material across many applications to reduce emissions outputs, reduce the use of water and energy and most efficiently use valuable resources.

Plastic materials are vital to the products we consume ranging from medical devices to plastic bins, cell phones, computers, and other commercial products— products we use everyday!
