Lightwave Logic's Rare-Earth-Free Platform Ensures Supply Chain Resilience.

Lightwave Logic emphasizes its supply chain resilience with a rare-earth-free platform, maintaining complete domestic oversight of its manufacturing process in Denver, Colorado. The company's Perkinamine platform is unaffected by geopolitical tensions affecting other technologies. With a market capitalization of $730.04 million, Lightwave Logic operates within the Basic Materials sector, bolstered by its innovative approach to photonic device development.

Schneider Electric Canada has taken a significant step towards enhancing its supply chain resilience by opening a new 130,000 square-foot distribution centre in Halton Hills, Ontario. This strategic investment, located at 6 Cleve Court in Georgetown, aims to strengthen local operations, improve delivery efficiency, and contribute to Canada's sustainable energy infrastructure, according to a Morningstar press release.

The new facility, operated in partnership with CEVA Logistics, will serve customers across commercial, industrial, residential, and infrastructure sectors. The centre is equipped with advanced automation technologies, including Manhattan Associates' Active® Warehouse Management and Order Management systems, to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada, highlighted the significance of this investment, stating, "The opening of the Halton Hills distribution centre demonstrates our commitment to Canada and to providing fast, reliable access to critical electrical infrastructure components. This investment will help support Ontario’s growth, strengthen local supply chains, and create new jobs for the community".

Jeff Wiedwald, Vice President of Contract Logistics for North America at CEVA Logistics, added, "By combining Schneider’s commitment to sustainable energy with CEVA’s global logistics expertise, we’re enabling faster, smarter, and more resilient supply chain solutions across Canada. Together, we’re not just moving products—we’re powering progress and supporting communities".

The inauguration ceremony on October 15, 2025, was attended by several distinguished guests and government representatives, including Bertrand Pous, Consul General of France in Toronto, Kristina Tesser Derksen, Federal Member of Parliament for Milton East—Halton Hills South, and Joseph Racinsky, Member of Provincial Parliament, Wellington-Halton Hills.

This new distribution centre is part of Schneider Electric’s broader strategy to increase operational capacity and maintain complete domestic oversight of its manufacturing process. The company employs more than 2,000 people nationwide and operates four R&D centres, 20 sales and service offices, and three manufacturing plants. Its technologies are currently found in 40 per cent of Canadian homes and 50 per cent of buildings, reflecting its central role in enabling sustainable energy and automation solutions across the country.
