An inventive and forward-looking approach to building is the central business philosophy at Nexii. Squamish is quite simply the perfect location for the green construction technology company’s plant, according to Gregor Robertson, Executive Vice President at Nexii. When asked about Nexii’s motivation to invest here, Robertson knows exactly whey Squamish was chosen as a production location.

What most stood out to Nexii when deciding to set roots in Squamish was the community’s great alignment with the company’s values to take care of both people and the planet. With a workforce that was already well acquainted with the forest industry and more recently, clean tech, not to mention access to the whole world of trade through extensive transportation infrastructure, it just made sense.

Nexii manufactures energy efficient buildings that are made to be assembled very quickly on construction sites with a low carbon footprint and zero waste. The company is growing fast and scaling across North America with new plants and many projects. With operating facilities all over North America, logistical connections play a major role for Nexii - which is why Squamish is an excellent fit. Besides the town’s proximity to and efficient access to Vancouver and the Vancouver Port, Squamish also has its own commercial port. Robertson additionally cites both the well-developed industrial infrastructure and existing growth and expansion possibilities as essential advantages of Squamish as an investment location.

Squamish offers the industrial and business climate that green construction company Nexii was seeking to thrive and grow in. Nexii’s mission is to create sustainable, durable, cost-efficient and disaster-resilient buildings and Robertson is excited to pursue that mission right here in Squamish.
