H&H Wood Products will create 13 new jobs to add to the 58 people already working at the plant.

The company makes pallets, racks and skids for the food, auto and ag industries, among others.

$195,3000 from the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund will help buy new equipment, increase output and grow its customer base.

The funding will also benefit the company’s operations in Tilbury and London.

H&H will invest nearly $2-million in the retrofit which is expected to be completed in two years’ time.
