This is the first Canadian facility constructed by Denso, an automotive parts manufacturer, whose head office is located in Kariya, Japan. The facility is located in Guelph, Ontario on a 25-acre site. The contract involved the construction of a 103,000 square foot manufacturing/assembly plant along with a 16,000 square foot administrative facility. The plant is clad in metal insulated foam paneling. A component system was used to facilitate future expansion.

The main architectural feature of the building is a sweeping entrance canopy constructed of a linear metal ceiling system, a design signature used by Denso in many of their other facilities.
