Hear what others are saying.
Hear it from the source. Our city continues to be a prime location for Medtech companies and our businesses agree.
“Mississauga has proven to be a great location for Baylis Medical’s growth. In the last 20 years Baylis Medical has grown from a presence of two employees in a basement to over 700 employees across three buildings within the city. With access to top talent in the neighbouring communities, the airport and numerous other businesses in the city, Mississauga is a great home for Baylis Medical.
Through our growth, Baylis Medical has benefitted from the support of the Economic Development Office and the City. One of the most valuable benefits is their ability to bring businesses together, allowing companies like Baylis the opportunity to network and learn from other world-class organizations.”
