TrilliumGIS is an advanced manufacturing sector asset and ecosystem map. The platform contains information about more than 12,000 Ontario manufacturing establishments, and more than 250 publicly-funded or not-for-profit ecosystem partner organizations mandated to support Ontario’s advanced manufacturing sector.
You can search and filter information about manufacturing establishments by company name, industry codes, location, products, and industries served.
TrilliumGIS uses the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) industry codes. NAICS codes are used by North American governments to classify business establishments.
Currently, the platform relies on the Statistics Canada's 'NAICS Canada 2017 Version 3.0'.
No. TrilliumGIS is free to use and open to the public. That has been made possible by support from the government of Ontario.
The industry filters allow you to identify manufacturers that supply or contribute to a particular production network or supply chain. For example, if you selected ‘Automotive,’ you could identify a network of several hundred vehicle assemblers, automotive parts manufacturers, automation and tooling manufacturers, and other manufacturers involved in the automotive industry.
- The "OR" filter allows a user to specify multiple conditions, and if any of these conditions are met by a particular establishment, that establishment will be included in the filtered result. If ‘Aerospace’ OR ‘Automotive’ is selected, users will see all companies that contribute to either one or both of Ontario’s aerospace and automotive industries.
- The ‘AND’ filter allows users to identify companies that contribute to the selected filters. If a user selects ‘Aerospace’ AND ‘Automotive,’ they will only see establishments that supply both the aerospace and automotive industries. The ‘AND’ filter is especially useful for identifying the industries served by manufacturers from the ‘Automation and Tooling’ industry.
