Schuler Opens New Facility in Canada

Local sales and service facility supports Canadian market

CANTON, MI / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2024 / Schuler North America opened a new sales and service facility, DBA Schuler Canada, on October 1. This state-of-the-art facility, located in Cambridge, ON, is shared with Schuler's rigging and plant installations partner, Trade-Mark Industrial, Inc.

Schuler Canada's facility features a shop floor stocked with tools, equipment, and spare parts, as well as an office space with a dedicated sales and service team.

"This strategic investment underscores our unwavering commitment to deepening partnerships with our Canadian customers," says Kevin McAllister, President of Schuler North America. "Schuler Canada provides them with enhanced accessibility and expedited support."

The establishment of Schuler Canada provides significant advantages for the Canadian market, including the ability to quote customers in Canadian dollars. Cross-border restrictions, e.g., working visas, will also cease to be an issue as a direct result of the new office.

"Trade-Mark is excited to be part of Schuler's Canadian team," says Thomas Straus, President and CEO at Trade-Mark. "This partnership will ensure unmatched value and service for Canadian clients, creating a one-stop provider for the forming industry needs."

Schuler has over 300 machines in Canada and more than 70 customers that will benefit from this investment. A major Tier-One automotive supplier in the region already praised Schuler's efficiency with their recent modernization project.

"Partnering with Trade-Mark gives us a great competitive edge for our customers," explains Heiko Ochmann, Service Manager at Schuler Canada. "We have our team of experts on-site with prompt access to spare parts and a reputable rigging and plant installations contractor."

Manufacturers using non-Schuler brand equipment can also benefit from Schuler Canada's extensive portfolio of tailored lifecycle services for all press systems, including proactive maintenance, retrofits, modernization, spare parts, and more.
