Bombardier today announced a new 126,000-square-foot manufacturing center in Dorval, Québec. Located near the Challenger manufacturing center and the Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre, this new facility will further expand Bombardier’s industrial footprint and strengthen its production capabilities.
The project represents an investment of approximately CAD$100 million and is part of the company’s long-term strategy to boost productivity as it responds to growing demand for its business aircraft. This new facility, set to open before the end of 2027, is expected to create skilled job opportunities.
To support this strategic initiative, Quebec’s Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy and Minister responsible for the Montérégie region, Christine Fréchette, will announce a CAD$35 million repayable, non-forgivable loan under Investissement Québec’s ESSOR program, which is managed by the government. The program was created to help promote Quebec’s competitive manufacturing sector and economic vitality.
“By supporting the expansion of Bombardier, a world‑class prime contractor, our government is generating significant economic benefits for the entire Quebec supply chain and for the aerospace cluster. This investment will also lead to the creation of hundreds of highly skilled, well‑paid jobs, while strengthening Quebec’s expertise. Thanks to its know‑how and its capacity for innovation, Bombardier is helping to consolidate Quebec’s global position in this strategic sector, and I am very proud to support this homegrown company,” said Christine Fréchette, Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy and Minister responsible for the Montérégie region.
