A local tech company has announced a major expansion in eastern Ontario.

Ross Video will be growing its manufacturing and research and development operations in Ottawa and Iroquois, Ont., with a $122.5 million investment, according to the Ontario government.

The move will create 125 new jobs, the province says.

Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, was in Ottawa on Thursday for the announcement.

“Ross Video is a true, homegrown success story that speaks not only to the high calibre of Ontario-made technologies but to the resilience of our workforce and investment landscape,” Fedeli said. “Through their expanded footprint in Ottawa and Iroquois, Ross Video will continue to unlock new opportunities for eastern Ontario’s highly skilled workforce and reinforce the province’s global leadership in advanced manufacturing and tech innovation.”

The province says it will be providing up to $6 million through the Invest Ontario Fund to support Ross Video’s expansion.

“From major film and television productions to live sports and newsrooms, homegrown companies like Ross Video power the screen-based industries that drive billions in spending and support tens of thousands of jobs in Ontario,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “Their expansion highlights and contributes to the robust competitiveness of Ontario’s film and television sector, and will attract more productions, boost local economies and develop the talent and technologies Ontario needs to continue leading Canada’s screen-based industries.”

According to its website, Ross Video employs 1,330 people, with 17 global offices, and serves more than 10,000 customers in over 120 countries with its high-end video production equipment and software. The company’s technology has been used at the Super Bowl, in concerts for stars like Taylor Swift, and has earned them several Emmy Awards.

“Ontario has been an important part of Ross Video’s growth and innovation story for decades,” said Ross Video’s chief technology officer Troy English. “This investment will help accelerate the next generation of Ultrix with expanded AI-enabled capabilities, greater flexibility, and increased processing performance, while continuing to invest in Ontario talent, innovation, and manufacturing.”

Mayor Mark Sutcliffe called Ross Video one of Ottawa’s great success stories.

“This is a company that started here, grew here, and is now competing and leading on the world stage. This investment means more good-paying jobs, more innovation, and more confidence in Ottawa as a city where technology companies can grow and succeed. We’re proud to see a homegrown company continue to invest in our community and help shape the future of media technology and AI,” he said.
