Westinghouse and Shawflex partner for nuclear projects in Canada

Westinghouse Electric Company and Shawflex have signed an agreement to collaborate on nuclear power projects in Canada and worldwide. This memorandum of understanding (MoU) allows Shawflex to supply important components like cables and connectors for Westinghouse's advanced reactors, including the AP1000, AP300, and eVinci. Shawflex, a Canadian company based in Rexdale, specializes in manufacturing electrical wire and cable. They plan to move to a new facility in Vaughan, Ontario, which will provide increased manufacturing capacity. With over 40 years of experience, Shawflex aims to meet the strict standards required in the nuclear industry. Westinghouse's leadership expressed confidence in Shawflex's abilities. They have already relied on Shawflex products for upgrades and replacements in their plants. Their ongoing partnership is expected to enhance Westinghouse's supply chain and promote nuclear project development in Canada and other regions. The projects supported by this agreement could significantly benefit the Canadian economy. Each AP1000 reactor unit might contribute nearly $1 billion in GDP, creating about 12,000 full-time jobs in Canada. Westinghouse's reactors could power millions of homes while generating substantial economic activity during both construction and operation phases. Westinghouse, owned by Canadian companies Brookfield and Cameco, is recognized for providing advanced reactor technology. The company is focused on delivering safe, clean energy solutions as it has done for over 135 years. Shawflex also prides itself on its high-tech solutions tailored for critical industries such as nuclear and aerospace, highlighting their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
