Motion Industries expands Canadian hydraulic services with Stoney Creek Hydraulics acquisition

Motion Industries has acquired the operating assets of Canada-based Stoney Creek Hydraulics. The transaction is expected to close at the end of October, subject to customary closing conditions.

Founded in 1998, Stoney Creek Hydraulics is named for its location in Stoney Creek, Ontario. Since its founding, the company has specialized hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders manufacture and repair. These cylinders are built according to customer blueprints or designed by the engineering team to meet a customer application's specific requirements. Repair services include cylinder inspection, machining, and testing with precision. 

"We are excited to begin a new chapter as part of the Motion team," says Patrick Gauthier, owner of Stoney Creek Hydraulics. "It is a great fit — both companies are customer-focused and share the same high values and service standards. The future is very bright for us and our customers as we combine resources and deepen our offerings."

James Howe, president of Motion, added, "As we continue to execute our acquisition strategy to grow our services, we are pleased to welcome Stoney Creek Hydraulics employees to Motion. Their skills and capabilities will bolster our hydraulic offering in Canada and complement our mechanical repair services in the region."
