Ontario government invests in Kawartha Ethanol via Ontario Together Fund

In Canada, the Ontario government is supporting a more than C$37 million investment by Kawartha Ethanol with C$2.5 million through the Ontario Together Fund. The new investment will help the Havelock-based company expand its local production capabilities to manufacture high-grade, pure ethanol for hand sanitizers and disinfectants to help our continued fight against COVID-19.

Supporting innovative projects like Kawartha Ethanol’s is why Ontario has invested an additional C$50 million in the renewed Ontario Together Fund in 2021–22. The fund will continue to support local innovators and businesses to further enhance Ontario’s domestic supply chain capacity, promote Ontario’s MedTech ecosystem and build up our manufacturing sector to ensure the province is well-prepared for future challenges.
