  4. Lovat: http://www.lovat.com/MS/MS1/index.php . The company was bought by Caterpillar (see http://tbm.cat.com/ ) in 2008 and now Caterpillar is closing it by mid-April 2014. For more information click on "Caterpillar Selling TBM Business".  Caterpillar is selling the business because it "no longer represents a strategic growth opportunity." News of the shutdown came as a shock to Richard Lovat, who founded the company in 1972 after moving to Canada from Italy. He and his son Rick ran the firm until selling it to Caterpillar for $49 million in 2008. The latest is that Caterpillar sells the TBM business to a Chinese Partner, Liaoning Censcience Industry Co, Ltd (LNSS).

Projects:

  1. Toronto subway extension. In 2008, the TTC began design and construction for six new subway stations, linking the subway to growing York University and beyond. Snaking northwest, this line brings the subway for the first time outside Toronto’s boundary into the 905. The $2.6-billion project involves hundreds of workers. The TTC vows to open the extension at the end of 2015.
