Our History
Our history dates back to the mid 1970’s when,
our predecessor company introduced circular knitted filtration fabrics to the
North American land drainage industry. In 1996, a new company, Zodiac
Fabrics Inc. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)
and purchased the assets of this experienced industrial fabric knitter.
Location
Zodiac Fabrics Company is located in London Ontario
in the heart of south-western Ontario. London
is situated on Ontario’s major traffic thoroughfare, less than 2 hours
from major US border crossings located in Detroit, Port Huron and Niagara
Falls New York. Being on major transportation routes
permits easy access to international air
and sea ports to serve our customers worldwide.
