The NFI Group has officially opened its new Customer Acceptance and Delivery (CAD) facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
A recent ribbon-cutting event marked the beginning of the latest phase of NFI’s ongoing manufacturing expansion, which follows federal and provincial investment alongside its own internal funding.

Construction of the new facility, which first began in late 2024, will allow NFI to complete full domestic production of heavy-duty transit vehicles in Winnipeg for the first time in 15 years. The first buses entered production in September 2025, and were delivered to Durham Transit in December 2025.
The facility will expand NFI subsidiary New Flyer’s production capacity by up to 240 equivalent units per annum by 2027, with four line entries expected per week. It will also enable New Flyer’s US facilities to increase their focus on supporting production for customers across America.
John Sapp, President and Chief Executive Officer, NFI Group, said:
We are extremely proud to officially open our new facility that achieves a strategic goal of enabling complete, start-to-finish Canadian bus manufacturing for Canadian customers.
This is a major milestone for our company, the province and the country as it creates hundreds of highly skilled jobs and a stronger domestic supply chain, alongside enhanced zero-emission production capabilities.
