What Hydmech does

HYDMECH (HYDMECH Canada Corp.) is a privately held industrial manufacturer founded in 1978 by Polish engineer Stan Jasinski in Woodstock, Ontario. Originally an engineering consulting firm specializing in hydraulic and forestry equipment, the company pivoted in 1980 to manufacturing band saws after Jasinski built his own mitering saw to meet customer demand. The company designs and produces industrial metal-cutting saws across four product families: band saws (double miter, horizontal pivot, horizontal, and vertical configurations with more than 30 models), cold saws including CNC-controlled variants, the CSNC carbide saw line (65mm to 200mm capacity) launched in 2016, and integrated material handling and AroStop length-measuring systems. Technical differentiation rests on proprietary features such as swing-head versatility on scissors-style saws, on-demand hydraulics that reduce energy consumption by two-thirds versus competing band saws, constant torque electric feed control, a 4-degree forward approach angle, and ball screw feed systems that extend blade life.

HYDMECH serves metal service centers, job shops, and metal fabricators as its primary segments, with secondary vertical penetration into aerospace (Boeing, GE Aviation), automotive (Ford), motorcycle manufacturing (Harley-Davidson), and racing. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of capital equipment plus a recurring aftermarket stream of more than 3,000 SKUs and over 25,000 ready-to-ship parts, supplemented by installation, training, and maintenance services. The business operates four global manufacturing sites (Woodstock, Ontario; Conway, Arkansas; China; and Pergola, Italy), with the North American footprint totaling approximately 276,000 sq. ft. across the two primary facilities.

Go-to-market is built on a hybrid direct-and-channel model: HYDMECH employs dedicated regional Sales Application Specialists organized across six North American territories who connect customers with a network of over 150 authorized dealers, plus a Conway, Arkansas showroom. Pricing is quote-based with floorplan financing options, and the company actively invests in major industry trade shows (IMTS, FABTECH, MACH, SIMTOS, CMTS, Houstex, Eastec). The brand has been recognized as the #1 sawing equipment brand by Metal Center News in 2014, 2017, and 2025.
