LONDON, ON, January 19, 2006 – JMP Engineering announced today plans to open an office in one of North America’s fastest growing cities, Barrie, Ontario.

In order to better serve their rapidly growing customer base, JMP Engineering has recently moved strategic resources to the Barrie area with plans to formalize a new branch office in early 2006. The company, headquartered in London, Ontario and specializing in automation, control and information solutions, sees Barrie as an ideal location for its sixth Canadian branch office. The Barrie area is home to many world-class manufacturers including Honda of Canada, DANA Canada, Moore Packaging, and Prodomax Automation and continues to attract and develop new business each year.

“We are very excited about this new location” says Laurens VanPagee, JMP Regional Manager. “We are experiencing strong demand for our services and have identified a need to have resources located in Barrie. We are eager to be a part of current and new developments in the City of Barrie going forward.”

Barrie’s growth has been one of the fastest in the North America and the Ontario Government has recently identified the city as a priority urban growth centre. JMP looks forward to supporting the development and expansion of Barrie’s knowledge based economy.
