Conair and Hamilton Avtec Join Forces To Deliver Equipment, Service in Canada
To provide Canadian processors with advanced processing solutions, combining the world's top brand of auxiliary equipment with dedicated local service, Conair has teamed up with Hamilton Avtec, one of the most respected suppliers to Canada’s plastics industry. The new team begins serving customers in September, 2007.
“This is an important step for us to better meet the requirements of Canadian processors,” said Chris Keller, Conair president. “We are now able to supply a full line of auxiliary equipment, the best technology, and the fastest service and support available to Canadian processors.”
Hamilton Avtec will stock popular models of Conair equipment in their modern Mississauga, Ontario, manufacturing facility. This means quick delivery of equipment that is customized to the special requirements of Canadian processors. Hamilton, with more than 25 employees, will continue to deliver localized, specialized support in the fields of installation, service, parts, engineering and manufacturing, along with Conair experience, quality and technical superiority.
“This move is in line with our 40 year commitment to the Canadian plastics industry,” commented Hamilton Avtec President Richard Hamilton. “Shifting to Conair equipment means we now have the full breadth of auxiliaries that just happen to be the best quality and the latest technology available. We now have the resources, people and variety of equipment to help our plastics processing customers promptly and effectively. You will now find the engineering, manufacturing and field service assistance needed to solve even your toughest productivity problems economically.”
Both companies are well-known industry names with long histories of serving processors in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1956, Conair supplies loaders and material handling equipment, dryers, blenders, granulators, heat-transfer systems and temperature-control equipment, as well as downstream extrusion systems for pipe, profiles and tubing. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, Conair serves thousands of customers around the world. Hamilton Avtec has been in business since 1965, developing, manufacturing, distributing and supporting a wide range of plastic material conveying, blending and conditioning machinery.
