Wajax Corporation says it has acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ontario-based Beta Fluid Power Ltd and Beta Industrial Ltd, further expanding its Industrial Parts and Engineered Repair Services offering.

Beta Fluid is a leading regional supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic equipment for use in the industrial, mining and construction sectors. It also offers hydraulic and pneumatic maintenance, repair and replacement services, including mobile services. Beta Industrial provides a wide range of on-site facility repair and maintenance services to local and regional customers. Together Beta Fluid and Beta Industrial employ a team of approximately forty-two full-time employees.

“Since 1997, the Beta team has developed a reputation for dependability and excellent customer service, and we are very pleased to welcome them to the growing Wajax family,” Iggy Domagalski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wajax, said. “Through acquisitions such as Beta, and our recently completed Polyphase Engineered Controls acquisition in Alberta, we continue to execute our Industrial Parts and Engineered Repair Services growth strategy, adding sought-after technical capabilities and expanding the services we offer to customers across the country. We look forward to further additions to our Industrial Parts and Engineered Repair Services portfolio as we continue to develop our acquisition pipeline.”

Wajax is one of Canada’s longest standing and most diversified industrial products and services providers, operating an integrated distribution system that provides sales, parts and services to a broad range of Canadian customers in sectors such as mining.
