Hoskin Group acquires Westech Industrial

Hoskin Group, backed by River Associates Investments, has acquired Westech Industrial, a move aimed at bolstering its capabilities in the industrial instrumentation and process solutions sector in Canada. The transaction, which concluded on January 30, 2026, marks a strategic expansion of Hoskin’s footprint in the Canadian market through enhanced service offerings and geographic reach. The financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.

Westech Industrial, based in Calgary, has been a fixture in the Canadian industrial landscape for over 60 years, offering a range of products including analytical instruments, flame and gas detection systems, and customized process technologies. With five operational locations across the country, Westech serves a diverse clientele in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and municipal utilities. Its extensive supplier relationships and technical proficiency are poised to enhance Hoskin Group’s portfolio.

Justin Warren, CEO of Hoskin Group, emphasized that Westech’s capabilities align seamlessly with Hoskin’s existing operations under its Avensys and CTH banners. This acquisition, alongside the recent incorporation of Davis Controls, is intended to forge a cohesive industrial instrumentation platform with national reach. This integration is expected to exploit cross-selling opportunities and offer comprehensive solutions to a broader customer base.

In a statement reflecting on the acquisition, Westech's President Jeff Scott emphasized the value of long-standing customer relationships and dependable service. He indicated that joining forces with Hoskin will provide Westech with avenues for growth and the ability to offer enhanced value to its clientele.

Looking ahead, River Associates and the Hoskin leadership intend to identify and pursue further acquisitions that complement their focus on scientific, industrial, and process measurement solutions. This strategic path highlights an ongoing consolidation trend in the sector, where integration efforts aim to create more robust, competitive players able to meet increasingly complex industrial demands.
