OPG continues to support Bruce-area manufacturer

Paisley, ON – Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is ensuring provincial businesses continue to succeed during the COVID-19 pandemic by selecting Abraflex, a small business in Bruce County, to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and laundering services in support of OPG’s nuclear facilities.

“OPG is proud to support companies such as Abraflex as we work toward rebuilding our local economies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lise Morton, OPG’s Vice-President Nuclear Waste Management, based in Bruce County. “The nuclear supply chain in the province is strong, and we are pleased to be able to find expert made-in-Ontario solutions to our supply needs.”

“The Abraflex team is honoured to work with OPG, ensuring sustainable jobs in our community while providing OPG our high-quality protective equipment and laundering services,” said John Bradley, CEO of Abraflex. “We appreciate OPG’s commitment to economic development by purchasing made-in-Ontario products and services.”
