Motion Industries Acquires Canadian Hydraulics Manufacturer Stony Creek Hydraulics

Motion Industries, distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and provider of industrial technology solutions, has acquired the operating assets of Stoney Creek Hydraulics, based in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada.

Founded in 1998, Stoney Creek Hydraulics specializes in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder manufacture and repair. Cylinders are built according to customer blueprints or are designed by the engineering team to meet a customer application’s specific requirements. Repair services include cylinder inspection, machining and testing with precision. The company is named for its location in the city of Stoney Creek, about 70 kilometers south of Toronto. 

“We are excited to begin a new chapter as part of the Motion team,” said 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.”

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