June 28, 2021 Maryam Farag Coreprint Patterns, family-owned-and-operated business, will manufacture critical components for COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for hospitals and labs across Ontario, with an investment of approximately $860,000 from the Ontario government. Currently, there are no made-in-Ontario sources for these components, which are difficult to acquire due to high demand globally. “Through the Ontario Together Fund, our government is making targeted investments in domestic businesses with the ideas and solutions to help us through this pandemic and put us on the path to economic recovery,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister, Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Coreprint Patterns’ manufacturing of vital and in-demand components for COVID-19 testing is an example of Ontario innovation at its very best. Ontario manufacturers continue to enhance our resilience to any challenge while strengthening our health care system and the economy.”
