CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY

Ontario BioAuto Council

Craig Crawford, President and CEO
"The BioAuto Council is an industry-led organization that has the goal of making Ontario the global leader in the manufacture of automotive parts from agricultural and forestry feedstocks by the year 2010. I think there are tremendous opportunities to position Ontario as a global leader in these new bio products. They are cheaper, better performing and safer for the consumer."

The Woodbridge Group

Domenic Sinopoli, Commercial Business Director
"A headliner is what you see in the ceiling of your vehicle, you can see a sample right behind me. It's made up of composite material, which we are able to integrate bio materials into it and also a variety of reinforcements from fibreglass, natural fibres and mineral fibres. Dealing with some of our customers today, we have targets to get as high as 50 percent renewable resources."

David Miller, Senior VP of Technology and Purchasing
"One of the things we are trying to achieve through this program and through the funding is to come to a sustainable product and have a bio-based green product that we can market and sell to our customers worldwide."

"I've been working at Woodbridge for 25 years plus now. The people that are in the company, they are a stimulating group. It is very much a family orientated business still. That keeps me pretty excited."

Kevin Liping Dong, Product Development Researcher
"I came to Canada in 1996. In the beginning I had a hard time finding a job. I came to Woodbridge as a machine operator. They found out my background and gave me the opportunity and now I am the product development engineer. Woodbridge is my home and my family. This is a good company. I want to contribute all of my knowledge and all of my skills to this company and to the country.”
