GRAND-BOUCTOUCHE (GNB) – Systemair, a ventilation equipment manufacturer, is creating new jobs and investing more than $5.1 million to modernize its Grand-Bouctouche and Moncton facilities with support from the provincial government.
“Systemair has long been a major employer in Grand-Bouctouche and the surrounding region,” said Luke Randall, minister responsible for Opportunities NB. “We are proud to support this investment in productivity and job creation – especially in the advanced manufacturing sector, which plays a critical role in building a more competitive and resilient economy for New Brunswick.”
Opportunities NB is providing a conditionally repayable loan of up to $957,000 to support the purchase of a new automated sheet metal-forming production line, as well as a payroll rebate of up to $425,000 to help create up to 122 jobs. These investments are expected to contribute about $10 million in direct provincial GDP by 2026.
The new positions cover a range of roles and experience levels. Recruitment is underway, with employment opportunities listed on the company’s website.
The company is a subsidiary of Sweden-based Systemair AB, which designs, manufactures and markets ventilation products. Systemair AB operates in 51 countries with 26 production facilities and 6,600 employees worldwide. The facility in Grand-Bouctouche is one of that region’s largest employers.
“We appreciate the continued support from Opportunities NB,” said Systemair general manager Daniel Goulet. “These investments will help us modernize our operations, boost productivity and expand our workforce across New Brunswick. We’re proud to build our presence in a province that shares our commitment to innovation, sustainability and growth.”
Opportunities NB is a Crown corporation and the lead economic development agency for the province. It seeks to attract and support opportunities to stimulate economic growth and create jobs by providing support services for businesses.
