LEDC (London, Ontario, Canada)



Industry Sectors

One of London’s greatest strengths is the diversity of its business community. This has served us well over the years during cyclical downturns in certain sectors and it also provides a strong base from which to expand.

London’s largest sector is the manufacturing industry, employing over 38,000 people, or 16% of the overall workforce. The chart below shows the full breakdown of employment by industry category.

The LEDC continues to aggressively pursue the sectors that have been the foundation of London’s economy in the past, including the automotive parts and food processing industries, and is also dedicated to the growing areas of information technology and life sciences.

"The decision to locate Graceway Pharmaceutical's Canadian headquarters in London was based primarily on our people. London offers a tremendous quality of life. The affordability, limited commute, and security of a community this size make it a wonderful place to both live and work. For the business, London is a great fit due to its world class health care facilities and growing biotech sector."
