Xylem opens Toronto hub to support water infrastructure across Canada

Xylem has opened an 87,000-square-foot Flygt distribution, service and training hub in Toronto, increasing its capacity to support municipal and industrial water customers across Canada.

More than four times the size of Xylem’s previous Toronto facility, the new hub increases storage capacity by 350% and is expected to distribute more than 100,000 Flygt pumps, parts and products annually. Increased local inventory and repair capacity will help customers access equipment and services faster, reducing downtime and supporting the continuity of essential operations.

The expansion follows seven years of steady growth for Flygt in Canada. It is intended to strengthen support for customers dealing with ageing water and wastewater infrastructure, stormwater management requirements and industrial operating demands.

The facility also includes a dedicated Xylem Academy, providing a centre for learning and collaboration. Its programmes will offer hands-on technical and application training for customers, channel partners and employees, helping them develop skills, adopt new technologies and apply industry best practices.

Hayati Yarkadas, executive vice president and president of water infrastructure at Xylem, said: “Canada has been an important part of Xylem’s story since the first Flygt facility in the Americas opened here 71 years ago.

“This new hub builds on those roots by bringing service, distribution, training and expertise together in one location. It brings us closer to our customers, helping them respond faster, reduce downtime and keep critical operations running.”
