A company based in Montreal, Quebec has selected Seymour as the home for its expansion into the United States market.

MPL USA, Limited will establish production at 2230 D Avenue at Freeman Field, and representatives of the company attended the June 27 meeting of Seymour City Council to request tax abatement on $770,804 of investment in equipment and machinery.

The Canadian company is a 15-year-old, family-owned establishment with patented technology for surface treatment. The technology treats magnesium for corrosion protection, and will result in the hiring of 11 new employees.
