“This has been about bringing work back to Canada’s manufacturing sector, regardless of what President Trump does or doesn’t do,” Mooney said. Before entering the apparel industry, the couple ran the Jackpine creative agency. That business is still running; Mooney said the firm will now also function as a consultancy for other domestic manufacturers trying to make and sell their products in Canada. “Our service business has really become about big ideas, made in Canada,” he said. Mooney said helping firms find partners, cut costs and shorten manufacturing cycles at home will be critical if Canada is to build up its industrial capacity and stop relying so heavily on the United States and China.” Closing out the year in conversation with Canadian Press. On newsstands across Canada this New Year’s Eve day. Re-industrializing, reshoring manufacturing and commiting to made in Canada is a great start. To compete, to do this right, it goes beyond investment. We need innovation in products, and processes. At Jackpine we fuse foresight, innovation and design to make big ideas happen in Canada. We launched hundreds of products this year and took on some very challenging manufacturing in different categories. If you are on a mission to make in Canada and need a partner give me a call. #innovation #manufacturing #madeincanada #sme #design #foresight #canada #processes #products #services #toronto #montreal #vancouver #ottawa #halifax #waterloo #calgary #winnipeg #saskatoon #nunavut #regina #iqaluit #hamilton #stjohn #charlottetown thestar.com/business/canad…
