It’s Manufacturing Week on Oldies 107.7
David Watson is the Chief Executive Officer at Plaintree Systems Inc, a company with diverse manufacturing interests located at a large facility on Didak Drive in Arnprior. Five of the firm’s six division are housed in its 135,000 square foot plant, and the sixth, devoted to aerospace machining, is headquartered in Pennsylvania.
David tells us Oldies 107.7 is the unanimous choice for workplace music among the 100 employees. Plaintree, founded from a partnership between David and his father, relocated from its original Ottawa location several decades ago due to the quality and dedication of the Valley workforce, as it consolidated two aerospace divisions. Staffing loyalties were a mitigating factor- and poaching here, a lesser possibility.
David’s portfolio of local divisions includes a company called Multipoint Foundations, and it is one of two under the Plaintree Umbrella that we will be profiling during our Manufacturers’ Week exploration on Oldies 107.7.
