In a nutshell

The Acton MRC is home to several large, stable companies that hire the services of a network of contractors to meet their needs. This network has grown over the years and offers a diversified industrial structure with some sixty SMEs and VSEs of all types. On the other hand, more than 25 agricultural businesses offer processed products, and this number is continuously growing. A good part of these agricultural businesses are certified organic, and many are emerging sector companies. Producers are networking like never before, which translates into an increase in the supply of local short supply chain products.
