"My grandfather opened our second manufacturing operation in Brantford in 1983 and the community has been very supportive in our growth since that time. This facility builds our world class Zamboni ice resurfacing machines for sale across the globe. Our success could not happen without a skilled and dedicated workforce, many who have been with the company for 20 years or greater. "
Frank Zamboni Jr., Executive Vice President, Zamboni & Co. Ltd.
