How does Niagara affect your business? "We are one of the top ten life sciences companies in Canada and locating in Niagara has been a key component in our formula for success. A significant portion of our revenue comes from the US and our location here gives us immediate access to over 50% of the American market within a day's drive. But the key benefit for us is the cost of doing business here. We are within an hour of Canada's business capital and we are paying significantly less in terms of rent and labour. And with a major University and College right here, we always have a fresh pool of young, highly educated talent on hand. Our location in the Niagara Region is a vital element in our continued growth." - Dr. Yousef Haj-Ahmad, President, Founder, Norgen Biotek Visit Norgen Biotek Corp's website
