A Quinte West company is relocating to a larger facility in Campbellford and will be increasing its workforce. Mirmil Products, which has been operating out of its current location in Quinte West since the 1960s, is moving to the 165,000 square foot former Dart Cup plant at the end of June. The move will allow the company, which is one of a handful of highly specialized architectural millwork companies in North America, to expand its current operations as well as the scope of work it performs. Mirmil currently employs about 70 people but CEO Travis Walker expects that number to grow to well over 100 when they are settled in their new home.

“We’ll be looking for cabinet makers, machine operators, production associates, as well as drafting and engineering personnel,” says Walker. “These are quality, full time jobs, with a full benefits package and excellent working conditions, in a spacious facility with state-of-the-art equipment.

Mirmil is one of a handful of highly specialized architectural millwork companies in North America. Its products are used in hospitals and universities, high end hotels, bars, casinos, stadiums and other public buildings across the United States and Canada.

Mirmil is fortunate to work on some of the highest profile, largest, commercial construction projects in the world. Clients include Disney, MGM Resorts, Hardrock Hotels, Yale & Harvard universities, MIT, The Borgata, Loew’s Hotels, and The Westin Maui.  Click link for more info: https://www.mirmil.ca/careers/
