On March 26, WMCO hosted its Quarterly Networking Event at the new WEINIG HOLZ-HER Canada showroom in Mississauga, bringing together approximately 50 manufacturers and industry partners for a focused afternoon on growth, investment, and market positioning.

The event combined in-person and live-stream participation, offering attendees valuable access to insights on digital marketing, capital investment strategy, funding opportunities, and export readiness. WMCO extends its sincere thanks to Miguel and the entire WEINIG HOLZ-HER team for hosting the event and supporting a highly engaging and well-executed day within their Ontario facility.



Beyond the presentations, the event reinforced the importance of peer-to-peer connections within the manufacturing community. Attendees had meaningful opportunities to network, exchange experiences, and discuss common challenges and opportunities across operations, investment planning, and market expansion.

Sessions delivered by Darrell Keezer (Candybox Marketing), Sepp Gmeiner (Lignum Consulting), and Karyn Brearley (INAC Services Ltd.) provided practical, actionable insights, while WMCO’s live polling session ensured member voices continue to shape future programming. The strong turnout and engagement highlighted the ongoing value of bringing manufacturers together to strengthen relationships, share knowledge, and support long-term industry growth.



Thank You to Our Host & Sponsor
A big thank you to the Weinig Holz-Her team for opening their doors, hosting our group, and welcoming attendees with coffee, and refreshments — a great way to kick off a morning of learning and discussion.

We also extend our appreciation to Weinig Holz-Her for their sponsorship. Their ongoing support helps WMCO deliver valuable on-the-ground learning opportunities for manufacturers across Ontario.


This event was produced with financial support from the Government of Canada’s Global Forest Leadership Program which supports Canada’s efforts to provide highly visible, practical and concrete responses to international requests for wildland fire and forest stewardship assistance while contributing to priorities of climate change mitigation and adaptation, gender, biodiversity, participatory development and knowledge for development.
