About Hamilton

Steel and advanced-manufacturing city with a working port, dense construction trades, and a growing services sector.

What is local to Hamilton

General cargo through the Port of Hamilton, which includes machinery, parts and pressure vessels, rose 92% in 2025, HOPA reports. For a Hamilton manufacturer, equipment is often the largest purchase. Financing it against the machine itself spreads the cost over its working life and leaves the line of credit available for materials and payroll.

About 42,900 Hamilton-area residents worked in manufacturing in 2024, and manufacturing made up about $9.9 billion of the area's $11.7 billion in traceable goods exports in 2023, according to the City's economic development office, which also says 60% of Canada's steel output comes from Hamilton. HOPA Ports calls the Port of Hamilton Ontario's largest port, with 130 tenants on 630 acres.

Is equipment financing regulated differently in Ontario?

Ontario charges 13% HST on equipment and has no separate provincial sales tax.
