An R&D company, an electric product wholesaler and a laboratory instrument firm have been honoured as Burlington Chamber of Commerce’s 2021 Business Excellence Award winners.

Gerrie Electric recently expanded in Burlington, opening a 76,000-square-foot distribution centre with cutting-edge technologies, such as automated storage and retrieval systems.

Anita Cassidy, Burlington Economic Development Executive Director celebrated their accomplishments during COVID-19. “Gerrie Electric supported critical electrical supply chain infrastructure during COVID-19 and their investment during COVID-19 during this time speaks to the long-term innovations we will see as a result of this pandemic.”
