More than four times the size of Xylem’s previous Toronto facility, the hub increases storage capacity by 350% and will distribute more than 100,000 Flygt pumps, parts and products annually. Greater inventory and repair capacity in Canada is intended to give customers faster access to equipment and service.
The expansion follows seven years of growth for Flygt in Canada according to Xylem and is aimed at customers managing aging water and wastewater infrastructure, stormwater needs and industrial operations. A dedicated Xylem Academy at the site will offer education programs as well as hands-on technical and application training for customers, channel partners and employees.
“Canada has been an important part of Xylem’s story since the first Flygt facility in the Americas opened here 71 years ago,” said Hayati Yarkadas, Executive Vice President and President, Water Infrastructure, Xylem. “This new hub builds on those roots by bringing service, distribution, training and expertise together in one location. It brings us closer to our customers, helping them respond faster, reduce downtime and keep critical operations running.”
