Bombardier unveiled a CA$100 million expansion project that will add a 126,000-sq-ft manufacturing center to its existing facilities in Dorval, Quebec. Scheduled to open by the end of 2027, the newest center will be located near Bombardier’s Challenger manufacturing center, but the OEM has not yet detailed what activity the center would house. The center is part of the company’s long-term strategy to boost productivity and capacity to meet growing demand for its business jets.

To help support this expansion, Christine Fréchette, the minister of economy, innovation, and energy for the Montérégie region, announced a CA$35 million repayable loan from Investissement Québec’s ESSOR program. Managed by the government, the program was created to foster Quebec’s competitiveness in the manufacturing sector.
