Mann+Hummel headquarters in Ludwigsburg, Germany
Mann+Hummel, a global expert in filtration solutions based in Ludwigsburg, Germany, has announced the finalisation of the acquisition of Hardy Filtration, a Canadian air filtration company. The acquisition is intended to expand the company's global footprint and manufacturing capabilities of the Tri-Dim Filter Corporation, which was acquired by Mann+Hummel in 2018.
Mann+Hummel is a global, family-owned company providing filtration solutions for automotive and industrial applications, indoor, industrial & public air quality, and the sustainable use of water.
Founded in 1993 the acquisition of Hardy Filtration further expands Mann+Hummel’s offering in innovative air filtration solutions. Hardy has been developing, manufacturing and marketing a large variety of filtration products for various applications, including air filters, paint booth filters and dust collector bags for more than 25 years.
“We are committed to expanding in the air and water filtration industries, and we are excited to announce the addition of the Hardy team less than a year after the successful addition of Tri-Dim Filter Corporation to our group,” said Sean Cromie, President & General Manager of Mann+Hummel’s Life Sciences & Environment business unit. “After the Tri-Dim acquisition in summer 2018, a subsequent acquisition of Hardy made perfect sense to increase our ability to satisfy and grow our Canadian customer base.”
“The merger with Tri-Dim Canada provides expanded market share and opportunities to grow the combined businesses throughout Canada”, adds Werner Lieberherr, President & Chief Executive Officer of Mann+Hummel. “Localised production and a committed sales team are key enablers to meet market needs and foster further growth in Canada. We are very excited with the Hardy acquisition to be able to announce this new centre of Canadian manufacturing operations in Quebec and look forward to enabling our combined teams to succeed together. We consider French speaking Canada an especially important area for further growth and can now ensure it gets the dedicated focus it needs.”
With its headquarters in Trois Rivières, Quebec, Canada, Hardy Filtration is a privately-owned company with over 80 employees.
The acquisition of Hardy expands Tri-Dim´s portfolio and production footprint in Canada, providing increased growth opportunities for the Mann+Hummel Group. Hardy will continue to operate through its Trois Rivières headquarters with Geneviève Hardy & Luc Girard as part of the Management team.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
