HAWE Hydraulik expands its global presence with its own subsidiary in Canada

In line with the HAWE Hydraulik SE’s strategy to focus more strongly on the North American market, the 100% subsidiary HAWE Hydraulik Canada Inc., based in Mississauga, Ontario, was founded as of July 1, 2023. HAWE is thus consistently pursuing its three-continent sales strategy.

HAWE products have been offered in the Canadian market for many years through various local sales partners. Among others, HydraFab FluidPower, founded in Mississauga, Ontario in 1989, supports customers with hydraulic solutions that contain HAWE products. As early as 2018, HAWE acquired 55% of the shares in HydraFab and thus took the first steps towards its own subsidiary in Canada.

Thuus far, HydraFab’s main business has been system solutions for industrial hydraulics and energy sectors. In the future, manufacturers of drilling rigs, aerial work platforms and crawler vehicles will also be served directly from the final assembly in Mississauga in order to offer attractive delivery times for the customer-specific control blocks. Competence in electronic control, software development and electrification is also being systematically expanded.

The product knowledge of the more than 40 employees is already very good, as many HAWE products have already been installed in the solutions in the past. 

General Manager Mr. Gores is looking forward to the new challenges: “In 1989, I get to know HAWE and its products at a customer meeting. Since then, I have been a regular participant in international sales meetings and work closely with HAWE’s headquarters in Munich and with my colleagues in the USA.” At the same time, he assures his local partners that business relations will continue seamlessly under the familiar Hydrafab brand, which will thus also become part of HAWE Hydraulik Canada.
