The company will receive a loan of up to $10 million through Ontario’s Jobs and Prosperity Fund. The loan will help the company expand its commercial division and boost its market share in the United States.

The local television station in Trenton reports that Kruger will be bringing almost 200 workers from its Mississauga plant to the Trenton location.
