Perth’s economy has been noted as example of small town resiliency into the 21st century. While many North American small towns have lost their manufacturing businesses and struggle to adapt, Perth goes against this trend and has remained a centre of manufacturing excellence and innovation. With a GDP of over $1 billion, and more jobs than people, Perth is an important hub of economic activity in Eastern Ontario.

Explore our Key Industries below  and learn about some of the businesses that make Perth the successful community it is. To learn how you can be a part of the success see here or contact economic development for more information. 

See the below map for a complete overview of the businesses that call Perth their home and to learn more about the incredible products they make and the remarkable service they provide.

Manufacturing

From textiles to steel, soap to sponges, Perth companies manufacture products used daily. Increasingly innovative, Perth manufacturers are making key investments in new technologies and manufacturing techniques to continue to compete on the global stage.

Food and Drink

Kombucha, pies, and gluten free of all kinds are made right here in Perth. Feeling thirsty? Check out the creations from Perth’s Laketown and Perth Breweries and Top Shelf distillery. Food and drink products made with passion and care from Perth are found across Ontario.

Tourism

If you like small town Canada, you’ll love Perth. A downtown populated by nearly 200-year-old buildings house more restaurants than communities many times Perth’s size. Enjoy a meal along the Tay Canal, explore the shops along Gore Street, or rent a canoe and go on a waterbourne adventure! Perth has developed a strong reputation as one of the best small towns in Ontario to visit. 

 

See our What to Do page for more information on the kinds of activities you can get up to in Perth.

Service Centre

As the County Seat of Lanark, the Town of Perth services a wider population of over 30,000 across Lanark, Frontenac, and Leeds and Grenville Counties. As a result, Perth is home to a variety of financial, medical, and government services and agencies not found in many communities our size, giving residents and business owners plenty of convenience in going about their daily lives.
