TrentonWorks is an industrial manufacturing facility located in the town of Trenton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
This collection of factories on the bank of the East River of Pictou has witnessed a large variety of industrial operations, ranging from steel making (the first steel plant in Canada), rolling mills, forging, shipbuilding, munitions manufacturing, rivets and bolts, and most recently (and longest lasting) rail cars.
The extensive plant was converted to manufacture wind turbine components for South Korean industrial conglomerate Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in its first foray into North America; this was made possible through corresponding investments by both the Government of Nova Scotia and the Government of Canada.
