In addition to IPG Photonics’ investment, Cancoil Thermal Corporation will invest $16 million into its two existing facilities in Kingston’s east end, contributing to the creation of 70 new jobs across the city.“Any new job is certainly one that we celebrate, and we are excited that both companies, Cancoil and IPG, continue to invest in Kingston.
