Tessera Group will build new headquarters in Scugog

WHITBY, ONT. — North American manufacturing company Tessera Group Inc. will be building its new corporate home in north Durham.

The announcement was made recently by the Region of Durham’s Economic Development and Tourism Division (Invest Durham), in collaboration with the Township of Scugog.

Tessera Group has purchased the property at 181 North Port Road in the township with plans to build the company’s new corporate headquarters building which will combine its various locations across the Greater Toronto Area under one roof. The new investment will include 95 jobs.

Tessera Group Inc. manufactures packaging and containers, combining design, fabrication, sales, service, parts and consumables to partners across multiple industries including the food, pharmaceutical, automotive and general manufacturing industries, states a release. 

“Building a new facility is no easy task, however, the decision of where to build our new headquarters was made easy, in large part due to the incredible teams at Invest Durham and the Township of Scugog,” said Brett Payne, chief financial officer of Tessera Group Inc., in a statement. “They are clearly motivated to bring skilled trade and technology jobs within the advanced manufacturing sector to north Durham. We are greatly appreciative of the Community Improvement Plan incentives and look forward to enjoying those throughout the building process.”
