Downlite Outdoor, a division of Downlite, a down and feather processor and supplier of responsibly sourced performance fills to the outdoor, home furnishings, and hospitality markets, expanded its facility by 50 percent in Mississauga, Canada.

The facility opened in June 2021 to “process and deliver down rapidly to its Canadian customers. The Downlite facility has state-of-the-art European equipment, maximizing cleanliness and performance in down production. The expansion helps provide fresher material and shorter lead times while increasing processing and distribution capabilities for the North American market in both Home and Outdoor,” said the company.

“Adding this expansion not only helps us to continue to provide the best product to all of our clients but puts us in the position to offer more employment opportunities for all levels within the facility. It is definitely an exciting time for us at Downlite,” said Hailey Werthaiser Parnes, vice president, business development.
