Halton Hills yard and site security, based in Acton

Local and live

Three employment areas, three kinds of yard

The largest of Halton Hills' employment areas is the Premier Gateway, which runs along Steeles Avenue north of Highways 401 and 407, from James Snow Parkway east to the Mississauga border. Invest Halton Hills puts it at 1,317 net acres, with uses that include wholesale and retail distribution, freight terminals, cold storage, e-commerce fulfilment and advanced manufacturing. Yards here handle trailers and night arrivals much like their neighbours across the Mississauga line.

North of it, the Georgetown Industrial Area (289 net acres) and the Acton Industrial Area (175 net acres) both sit on the north side of Highway 7. Georgetown's mix runs to advanced manufacturing, food and beverage processing, metal fabrication and building materials. Acton's includes small and mid-sized industry, construction, metal fabrication and recycled products recovery, with a rail spur available. That means yards holding equipment, materials and work vehicles, not just trailers.

Sigma is based in Acton, and its technicians install cameras and speakers across Halton Hills. A gate chain or padlock can be cut. With live monitoring, AI person and vehicle detection flags someone at the fence or gate, an agent sees it live, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police if the person stays. For Premier Gateway yards with traffic overnight, remote gate operations let agents see each arrival and speak with drivers before the gate opens.
