Aztec Strengthening Its Presence in Southwestern Ontario with Expanded Cambridge Branch & Brand-New Stoney Creek Location

Aztec is strengthening its presence in Southwestern Ontario with two major moves this June—the grand opening of its newly expanded Cambridge branch and the opening of its brand-new Stoney Creek branch. 

Located at 430 McNeilly Road, Aztec’s new Stoney Creek branch will specialize in automation and control solutions, serving local industrial facilities with expert support. While the branch offers Aztec’s full product line, this expansion marks a return to the company’s technical roots. Leading this new venture is Branch Manager James Pasierbski, who transitioned from Aztec’s Technical Sales Group to provide the foremost technical support to customers in the Stoney Creek area. 

Additionally, the Cambridge branch expansion doubles warehouse capacity, enabling a broader product selection across automation, control, distribution, lighting, wire, and cable. A new full-service contractor counter now ensures a streamlined order pickup experience, reinforcing Aztec Cambridge’s long-standing role as an industrial essential in the region while expanding its contractor offering. 

Aztec’s Director or Sales and Operations Cory Upton states:

“This strategic expansion marks the next chapter of Aztec’s growth. As part of Sonepar we are able to leverage our size to bring the best solutions to our customers with improved convenience while maintaining our core value of technical excellence in the support we provide customers.” 

Sonepar and Aztec anticipate further expansion and support along the 401 corridor, including an upcoming expansion to their central distribution centre to provide additional support for local branches in and around the Greater Toronto Area.

    ABB & Charbone Hydrogen Sign Agreement to Advance North American Green Hydrogen Production Facilities

    ABB and Charbone Hydrogen Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement to collaborate on the development of up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities across North America over the next five years, providing a clean fuel source for existing hydrogen users and heavy industrial processes such as steelmaking, which currently use grey hydrogen as an energy source. The MoU scope positions ABB as the preferred supplier for the design, engineering, fabrication, testing and supply of modular and standard electrical substations (eHouses) for the interconnection between production facilities and local utilities. ABB will support Charbone in standardizing basic engineering for systems and components across its project portfolio, to increase energy efficiency and reliability. Future scope may also see ABB operate as the main automation, electrification and telecom contractor depending on project requirements. Among the sites covered by the collaboration is Charbone’s flagship Sorel-Tracy facility near Montreal in Québec, Canada. The facility is expected to be connected to the Hydro-Québec grid by the end of quarter two in 2025, using hydro electricity to power green hydrogen electrolyzers. The plant will create a blueprint for the design and engineering of modular and scalable equipment for other sites being developed by Charbone. The next project to get underway will be in the greater Detroit area in the US, which is the manufacturing base for major automotive companies.

  • Digitization as the key to optimal energy efficiency

    Whether in the energy sector or manufacturing, digitization is the key to maximum energy efficiency. The challenge is to save on energy – be it in the form of heat, power, steam, or compressed air – without compromising work and production processes. Mastering that challenge requires highly sensitive measurement equipment and digital energy management systems that can work together and communicate to make split-second, precision-coordinated adjustments.
