On September 10, 2025, Fil-Trek was proud to welcome Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Official Opposition, and Cambridge MP Connie Cody to our Cambridge facility. The visit was an opportunity to share how our company has grown from a local manufacturer into a trusted supplier of industrial filtration systems used across Canada and around the world.

At Fil-Trek, we believe strongly in building Canadian-made solutions. By sourcing Canadian steel and investing in skilled local talent, we are creating jobs and strengthening the economy right here in Cambridge. Our team takes pride in combining precision engineering with the resilience and innovation that Canadian manufacturing is known for.

The Fil-Trek leadership team, including Lou Faustini, Paul Thomason, Ron Brooks, Kristian Faustini, Tim Salihu, and Gorete Medeiros, had the opportunity to share both recent successes and the global challenges manufacturers face.

The visit also gave us the chance to speak openly about some of the challenges manufacturers face in today’s global market. International trade pressures, rising costs, and complex supply chain dynamics are realities that companies like ours must navigate every day. Sharing these challenges with community leaders helps ensure that the concerns of Canadian businesses are both heard and understood.

Equally important was the chance to highlight our successes. Fil-Trek continues to grow, developing next-generation filtration technology that supports industries from water treatment to energy production. Our commitment to quality and innovation has allowed us to compete on a global stage while maintaining the values of a proudly Canadian company.

We are grateful for the opportunity to tell our story. Visits like this provide a platform to showcase the strength of Canadian manufacturing, the importance of buying Canadian steel, and the impact that job creation has on our community. At Fil-Trek, we are proud to represent the strength of Canadian manufacturing. Our commitment to Canadian steel, local jobs, and next-generation innovation drives everything we do.
