Wajax

Wajax is a Canadian industrial products and services provider. Its official site describes an integrated distribution system providing sales, parts and services to customers across sectors of the Canadian economy, and states that it trades on the TSX. Its history page traces the company's origins to an 1858 blacksmith shop in Montreal founded by B.J. Coghlin, and notes an official name change to Wajax in 1959.

Wajax's official history page states that its story begins in 1858, when a small blacksmith shop was founded in Montreal by a young entrepreneur, B.J. Coghlin. The shop grew from manufacturing carriage springs to supplying railcar components. In 1954 the enterprise acquired its first mobile equipment subsidiary, Watson Jack & Co., which specialized in metals, chemical boilers, and electrical supplies. In 1959 the company officially changed its name to Wajax, honoring J.C. Watson Jack; the name Wajax had been in use since 1925, initially associated with a portable pump product called 'The Wajax'. The page also states that pivotal acquisitions in the late 1960s and 1970s marked further growth.

One of Canada's longest-standing and most diversified industrial products and services providers.
