The Plaintree Group of companies at 10 Didak Drive in Arnprior is 135,000 square feet of space that’s put to good work- as it houses five local manufacturing companies: Triodetics, Multipoint Foundations, Hypernetics Aerospace, and Spotton Hydraulic Cylinders. Another of the companies is Elmira Stove Works.
Elmira Stove Works isn’t located in the southwestern Ontario town- at least, not an more.
Established in 1975 to serve the Mennonite and Amish communities in that region by manufacturing wood-burning cookstoves, traditional styling was maintained as the firm sought to diversify its clientele by merging design with state-of-the-art features.
David Watson is CEO.
