Barrie is home to Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive parts manufacturers. The city is one of southern Ontario’s automotive parts clusters, with Honda’s two assembly plants in the region and ten other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in close proximity, including Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, and Toyota.
