Summary
Located in Mississauga, Ontario, Mersen Canada Toronto Inc. (http://ep-ca.mersen.com) is a leader in the electrical power industry, manufacturing a variety of electronic components including fuses, switches, power resistors, DC bar contactors,laminated bus bars and heat sinks. The growing use of electricity has led to an increased need for heat sinks to cool high-power devices, such as converters and electric motors. This presents the opportunity for companies like Mersen to increase their output and merge into the high-volume production market, allowing them to create more jobs and earn greater profits.
