From the Beehive E46 - Branching Out with Element5

Driving past the Industrial Areas of St. Thomas, it's sometimes difficult to know what happens behind the scenes and how the manufacturers based here impact the wider supply chain and our local economy.

At St. Thomas Economic Development, we often have the privilege of visiting these workplaces to learn more about our local industries. In today's episode, Mike is bringing us all along to learn more about Element5, the scope of work they conduct, and the growth of the mass timber industry as Ontario expands to permit 18-storey structures built from the material.

Locally, you can check out some of Element5's work at the Port Stanley Fire Hall and The St. Thomas Daycare across from the Westlake Evans Civic Square.

Is there a local business that you want to have a better idea of what they do? Let us know, and maybe we can take you along with us!
