About this Event
CIM GTA West speaker series is offering an ON-SITE TOUR and PRESENTATION at Schneider Electric's site in Milton.
John Kwarta, Key Account Executive for Mining, Minerals, and Metals at Schneider Electric about their recent partner ship with Torngat Metals!
About the Presentation
Digitalization, electrification, artificial intelligence, and geopolitical tensions are accelerating demand for rare earth magnets, while limited domestic supply constrains North American manufacturing and defence readiness.
This presentation explores how Schneider Electric and Torngat Metals are moving beyond transactional procurement to build an integrated transatlantic ecosystem connecting Canadian resources, technology, manufacturing, and demand. Their partnership demonstrates how coordinated industry and government action can strengthen supply chain resilience, industrial sovereignty, localized production, and long-term strategic growth opportunities.
Event details
The doors will open at 5pm, and the event will start off with a tour of the Schneider Electric facility at 5:30. Following the tour, we will hear the presentation from John Kwarta, and enjoy some refreshments and networking opportunities to catch up after the summer.
Safety glasses and steel toes will be required for the tour. You may bring your own if you wish, and Schneider will provide glasses and toe caps for those who need them. Please ensure that you come wearing closed-toed shoes so that toe caps can be properly worn.
