From Brampton to the World

Go Global in Action

"Grey Matlock Bakery started here in Brampton, and this city, its people, and its council officials have played a key role in my entrepreneurial journey. What began as a local operation has grown into a national brand with locations across several Canadian provinces. The lessons I learned in Brampton—consistency, trust-building, and establishing strong operational systems—formed the blueprint for our expansion across Canada. Now, those same principles are guiding our move into the U.S. market. My story is simple yet powerful: building a solid foundation in Brampton enables you to scale anywhere. This city not only supports entrepreneurs but also empowers us to go global."
After attending the Go Global seminar on African and Caribbean markets, Brampton manufacturer Tropix Coconut Drops partnered with C.F. International Marketing and will ship its first international order to Antigua in December 2025. With expansion into six Caribbean countries planned for 2026, Tropix showcases how Brampton’s Go Global initiative helps local businesses enter new markets and scale internationally.
