After 97 years in business, St. Catharines auto plant could survive for much longer after nearly $80M boost

Rhythm Automotive Canada has been a fixture in St. Catharines, Ont., for 97 years and looks good to be around for at least a few more now that the company has given the plant a vote of confidence with an investment of nearly $80 million coming. The company makes steering and suspension parts, many of which are sent to customers such as Ford and Toyota in the United States.
