Toronto, Ontario — In a landmark accomplishment for any Canadian business in the automotive industry, Würth Canada is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2021, having moved operations from Germany to Montreal in the early ‘70s.
Known for supplying fasteners and other consumables to the automotive aftermarket, Würth was founded in Germany in 1945 by Adolf Würth.
Adolf’s son Reinhold would be the one to take the company overseas to Montreal in 1971, and then south to Mississauga 15 years later in 1986.
Today, Würth Canada CEO Ali Moghaddam speaks to the value of family present at the company that he has noticed since he first took on the job in October of 2020.
“I’ve been involved in the industrial distribution industry since 2003,” said Moghaddam.
“One thing I was attracted by was Würth’s strong foundation as a family business and its people – people who are dedicated to the business, the company, and its customers. It’s a company with a nice balance between a corporate institution and a family business.”
