Pond located in Markham because it’s a high technology company that needs access to other high technology companies... It’s one of the few geographies that affords us the opportunity to do anything we need within a close limited geography of where we’re standing.

Equipped with the latest technology and connectivity tools, the Canadian Technical Centre (CTC) Markham campus enables employees to innovate, collaborate and lead the future of mobility, right here in Canada.
