5. Location Factors & Industry
What determines the location of Industries?
In groups of 2-4, come up with a list of key factors that determine where an industry or manufacturing will be located.
You will have 5 minutes to come with a list of 3-5 well explained factors. Be ready to share!!!

6. Location Factors
Location factors are circumstances, such as the presence of raw materials or highly-skilled labours, that can be used to explain why manufacturers locate where they do.
There are 7 location factors that attempt to explain why these industries located where they do.

7. 1. Availability of Raw Materials
Some industries must relocate near the sources of their major raw materials.
Example:
Fruits and vegetable processing companies are usually located where the crops are grown due to F&V needing to be processed shortly after picking.
McCain Foods  New Brunswick
WHY?

8. 2. Location of Markets
Many industries want to be near their major customers to reduce delivery costs. Close proximity to consumers also reduces the time it takes to make deliveries.
Example:
Dairy farms are often located near the city due to the expiring nature of there product
Fruits & Vegetables

9. 3. Availability of Fresh Water & Power
For companies that use vast amounts of fresh water for cooling and cleaning purposes, a location near a major lake or river is important.
For other companies, must locate near a large enough source of power to maintain their production
Example: Steal Mills are almost always located on rivers or lakes

10. 4. Labour Supply
A company needs to consider the quality, availability and cost of labour supply.
Some industries need a relatively cheap labour cost supply.
Example: LuluLemon, clothing & retail industry
Others need a more costly, highly skilled labour supply

Example:
Steel companies in Hamilton, Ontario are postitioned to receive raw materials by ship.
The Dow Chemical Company is located in Sarnia, Ontario strictly due to arrival of oil from Western Canada via pipelines.

12. 6. Political Factors
Governments try to attract and keep industry by providing a good business climate.
Government can offer tax incentives or build new highways to make an area more sought after.
Example: Highway 407 outside of Toronto
Built as an incentive to attract new and keep other industries in the area

13. 7. Circumstances

Example: Return of the Winnipeg Jets
Mark Chipman wanted to bring the team back to his hometown. Are we a big enough city to support a team after losing them in 1996?
He had to weigh the “hunger” for a hockey team vs the cost it would be to him & True North..
I think it paid off..

14. Winnipeg, MB
