For almost 40 years, Kemflo Canada has provided high-quality injection molded parts and integrated solutions to clients in the agriculture, construction, industrial/chemical, leisure (pool, spa, and bath), medical, and environmental sectors. Established in 1988, family-owned and operated Kemflo Canada has decades of combined industry experience in engineered thermoplastic resins, and continues to innovate and reinvest in itself for the betterment of its many new and repeat customers.
Currently based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Kemflo Canada is in the process of relocating to its new multi-million-dollar facility in Bradford West Gwillimbury. The move represents “a significant milestone in our growth strategy for 2026,” according to company President John Kehren. “This new location will allow us to upgrade our production layout, optimizing workflow efficiency and improving storage management.”
Certified ISO 9001:2015 for the manufacture and assembly of plastic injection molded products, Kemflo Canada’s wide-ranging capabilities include engineered solutions for custom assembly, product design, prototyping and 3D printing, mold design and making, quality control and product verification, and more.
With an array of equipment at its existing location, the company is continuing to make strategic capital investments in injection molding machines, press robotics, and centralized bulk storage and material handling systems. “These investments will increase production capacity, enhance product quality, and support long-term operational efficiency,” says John Kehren. “In addition, we will be expanding automation within the assembly department by incorporating semi-automated solutions, reducing manual handling and enabling higher-volume production.”
The move to the new facility will be completed in phases, according to Operations Manager Christopher Kehren. This will see the company begin by relocating its office, warehouse, and larger-tonnage machines (1100 and 1200). The scheduled relocation will then see Kemflo Canada move its injection molding machines, followed by other equipment. This well-timed operation will allow production to continue at both the existing and new facilities during the transition, so there is no work stoppage.
“In the medium term, once the facility is fully operational, we plan to resume expanding our services on both sides of the border,” states Christopher Kehren. “Our goal is to complete the move by June 2026.”
In recent years, the company has invested well over $10 million back into the business, with one of its many recent investments being a shredder grinder, a piece of equipment that will enable materials to be reused when appropriate. Benefits including reducing raw material waste, promoting more sustainable manufacturing practices, and improving control over material costs.
Realizing the importance of embracing emerging technology to meet the needs of its many customers, other recent purchases have seen Kemflo Canada increasingly move toward more robotic automation. This will improve process consistency by minimizing defects and reducing cycle times. These efficiencies, and others, will continue to lower manufacturing costs while allowing the company to scale production and reduce its overhead.
The company’s use of tech extends to software from SOLIDWORKS®, a leader specializing in 3D CAD and cloud software development products and solutions. “SOLIDWORKS software helps our engineering team design and simulate complex projects, reducing errors and shortening the product development cycle,” says Nicole Kehren, Business Development/Manager), “while 3D printing enables rapid prototyping and efficient design validation. In the molding process, robotic arms ensure consistent, repeatable operations that minimize human errors.”
“Kemflo Canada’s investment in advanced machinery enables us to offer competitive pricing and faster delivery times to our customers while significantly enhancing overall production capacity,” explains Nicole Kehren.
Some of Kemflo Canada’s many high-quality injection molding products include Tank Accessories for roto-molded/blow molded tanks used in the industrial and agricultural markets and Plastic Random Filtration Media used in chemical processes to scrub caustic fumes and other contaminants. This product is also used in wastewater management filtration systems. New product developments include a line Kemflo has invested in and designed new tooling for, Septic Lids and Risers, with other accessory parts used for the Concrete and Plastic Septic Tank Market.
Also in its Tank Accessory line, Kemflo has introduced its newest combination vent, the Maximus II vent, the latest development providing maximum pressure/vacuum venting for IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) at a competitive cost. This has been added to the company’s pressure/vacuum vents for IBCs used for transporting and storing hazardous chemicals.
Constantly innovating to meet changing industry standards and the needs of its clients, Kemflo Canada looks forward to more positive developments in the months to come. “This year, Kemflo’s primary goal is to relocate our base of operations,” says Nicole Kehren. “Our team is excited to settle into our new home!”
