InvestStratford announced that Hägele GmbH, the global manufacturer of Cleanfix Fans, will be expanding its North American operations to Stratford, Ontario. With pending final plans and approvals, the expansion of Cleanfix North America Inc. will begin in 2022 and more than double the total current building space.

Established in the City of Stratford in 2010 as the North American subsidiary of Germany's Hägele GmbH, Cleanfix has been in its Wright Business Park location since 2015, where it employs 20 people who design, assemble and supply the company's proprietary fans for farm machinery and heavy equipment.

"We are absolutely thrilled, sincerely proud and deeply honoured to be expanding our North American headquarters and full-service production operations on Wright Boulevard in Stratford," says Benjamin Haegele, CEO of Hägele GmbH, based in Schorndorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. "Establishing Cleanfix North America Inc. in the City of Stratford has been one our biggest success stories anywhere in the world. Stratford's progressive business climate, improving amenities, prime location and world-class culture make it a tremendous place to invest, to work and to live."

Video: Uncover the world of insurance salvage auctions in Canada

What happens to vehicles, farm equipment, machinery and other valuable assets after an insurance claim? They may have more value—and opportunity—than you think.
In this interview, Kristine O’Brien, Director of Marketing at Barga, takes us inside the world of insurance salvage auctions and explains how the Saskatoon-based company is making these assets directly accessible to buyers across Canada.
Unlike a traditional auction house, Barga operates primarily online, connecting consumers with a constantly changing selection of insurance salvage sold on an “as is, where is” basis. Buyers can see where an item is located, bid online and, if successful, arrange pickup or shipping.
With new auctions every two weeks, Barga offers much more than farm equipment, with a diverse range of vehicles, machinery, equipment and other unexpected finds coming up for bid.
Kristine explains how the auction process works, what buyers should know before bidding, and why insurance salvage can offer some interesting opportunities for Canadians looking for equipment, vehicles or a great deal.
Registration is free, allowing buyers to browse upcoming auctions, watch items that catch their attention and bid when the right opportunity comes along.
