Weidmüller: A Journey of Innovation and Excellence!
Celebrating 50 years in Canada and 175 years globally.
June 17, 2025
The year 2025 marks a truly momentous occasion for Weidmüller as the company celebrates not only 50 years of operations in Canada but also its 175th global anniversary — an extraordinary achievement few companies can claim.
Weidmuller Canada’s journey began in 1975, as Weidmuller Terminations Ltd., operating from a modest, warehouse-style office. The company initially focused on supplying the renowned SAK Series Terminal Blocks and DIN Rail, laying the groundwork for a legacy of reliability and innovation.
A major milestone came on May 12, 1986, with the ground-breaking ceremony at 10 Spy Court, Markham, a site that proudly remains Canadian headquarters to this day.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, Gary Martins, Managing Director – Canada, shared:
“From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted leader in cabinet products, field device connectivity, and automation solutions—both hardware and software—our growth has been fueled by strong customer partnerships, dedicated employees, continuous innovation, and a resilient foundation built on commitment and expertise.”
From that first step in 1975 to the continued growth today, Weidmuller Canada has remained true to its pioneering spirit—connecting people, systems, and technology across industries for nearly five decades.
