About Us

Praher Plastics Canada Ltd. is a manufacturing company based in Barrie, Ontario, specializing in high-quality plastic components and solutions for industrial and pool applications.

We are currently building the next generation of talent for our Canadian organization. Our Graduate Management Program is designed for motivated people who want to learn how a manufacturing business really works — from operations and supply chain to finance, sales, engineering, quality, and continuous improvement.

This is not a standard job. It is a structured development program with hands-on training, cross-functional exposure, and a clear path into a permanent role within our organization where you have the possibility to grow and make an impact from day one.

The Program

During the program, you will rotate through key areas of our business, such as:

- Operations and production
- Supply chain and planning
- Quality management
- Engineering and process improvement
- Finance and controlling
- Customer service and sales operations
- Data analytics and business systems
- HR and organizational development

You will receive structured training, work directly with experienced managers, and support real business improvement projects. After successful completion of the program, you will transition into a permanent role based on your strengths, interests, and business needs.
