Milwaukee Tool officially opened its first-ever Service Hub in Canada, located at 1 Logistics Ct. in Georgina’s Keswick Business Park. The ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 19, 2026, marked a significant milestone in the company’s investment in Canadian operational infrastructure.
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Highlights
The event was attended by Milwaukee Tool leadership, including EVP of Quality, Reliability & Service Michael Price, VP of Operations Matthew Waldrop, and Canada President John Myers, alongside Town of Georgina Mayor Margaret Quirk and other local officials. The ceremony underscored the company’s commitment to supporting Canadian tradespeople.
Mayor Quirk’s Remarks
“Today’s ribbon-cutting is another exciting announcement for Georgina as we continue to attract leading global companies that recognize the value of investing in our community,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk. “Milwaukee Tool’s new Service Hub strengthens our local economy and creates employment opportunities, highlighting Georgina’s growing reputation as a strategic destination for business.”
Facility Details and Services
The 54,000-square-foot facility will serve as a centralized repair and service destination for professional tradespeople across Canada. It will service a broad range of Milwaukee products, including cordless power tools, with all work performed by trained technicians using genuine Milwaukee parts. This ensures faster turnaround times and the high standard of service expected by Canadian tradespeople.
Commitment to Community
“This hub is more than a service facility. It reflects our long-term commitment to the communities where Canadian tradespeople live and work,” said John Myers, President of Milwaukee Tool Canada. “Whether partnering with local trade schools, supporting workforce development, or being a dependable neighbour, we’re here for the long haul.”
Recruitment and Operations
Recruitment for the new facility is progressing strongly, with nearly all 80+ positions filled. New employees have begun onboarding and training to prepare for full operations. The hub is expected to reach full operational capacity by the end of 2026, significantly improving service turnaround times and customer support.
Broader Canadian Expansion
This investment is part of a broader Canadian expansion that includes Milwaukee Tool’s first-ever distribution centre, scheduled to launch later in 2026. Together, these facilities represent a significant step forward in serving Canadian tradespeople faster, with more inventory held locally and world-class service support closer to home.
