      History

      The Ontario Centre for Farm Machinery and Food Processing Technology was one of six centres opened in late 1982 and early 1983 to promote industrial research in Ontario. The Centre for Farm Machinery and Food Processing Technology opened its doors in Chatham on 31 January 1983.

      From 1982 to 1984, the Centres were administered through the Office of Coordination and Development of Technology Centres of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In 1984, all six technology centres became part of the Innovation and Technology Division, which became known as the Policy and Technology Division one year later. In 1985 they were moved to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology.

      All six technology centres were gradually phased out in 1988 and 1989. By the end of 1989, they had all closed, and the Policy and Technology Division ceased to exist.
