Husky Injection Molding Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. is a supplier of machinery for injection molding of plastics. The company was founded in 1953 by Robert Schad, a German immigrant to Canada. Husky was initially a small machine shop with no ties to the plastics industry.

Husky now manufactures a wide range of injection molding machines, injection molds, hot runners, robots, and auxiliary systems used in plastics manufacturing.

Husky's head office and primary manufacturing site is located in Bolton, Ontario, Canada. Husky also has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Luxembourg, Brazil, and China. Sales, parts, and technical support centers are located across the globe.
Husky currently employs over 3000 people worldwide, with annual revenues of US$1.2 billion.

Husky is a world leader in plastics technology, specializing in PET for beverage packaging products. Husky controls more than 50% of the global market for PET processing systems.

Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. was a publicly traded company from 1998 to 2007. Owning 44% of the company's stock, Robert Schad was the controlling shareholder. The company's common shares were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On December 13, 2007, the Canadian private equity investment firm Onex Corporation completed a friendly buy-out of Husky. The deal was worth C$960 million.

Onex announced on November 17, 2009, that it planned to sell its stake in Husky in a new initial public offering though it did not sell during that time.

On December 17, 2010, it was reported that Onex had started talks to sell Husky to rival buyout firms intending to fetch C$2 Billion.

Berkshire Partners LLC, the Boston based private equity firm, and OMERS Private Equity Inc., the private equity arm of the OMERS Worldwide group of companies, announced on June 30, 2011 the successful closing of their previously announced acquisition of Husky International Ltd.

Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. recently announced that it has signed an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Moldflow Corporation's Manufacturing Solutions Division for $7 million. The transaction is expected to close on June 30, 2007.

Husky is one of the leading suppliers of hot runners and tooling for the injection molding industry. With the said acquisition, Husky will expand its product offerings by adding temperature controllers, process management and data communication software to its leading hot runner and machine portfolio.

Effective upon closing, the Company will offer customers Altanium temperature controllers, Celltrack and Shotscope software products, as well as MPX under license, Moldflow Corporation's automated process set-up and optimization tool. In addition, the Company will continue to offer the current line of LEC and TTC hot runner controllers during a transition period.

On May 10, Moldflow Corporation announced its intention to sell the Manufacturing Solutions Division. Commenting on the recent announcement, Roland Thomas, Moldflow Corporation's President and CEO, said, "I believe that Husky is a strategic owner with the global infrastructure, expertise and focus needed to take our Altanium and shop floor products to the next level."
