Winston Score History

The full picture

Wajax Corporation is a Canadian industrial distributor that sells and services heavy equipment, industrial parts, and engineered systems. Its customers include companies in mining, construction, forestry, oil and gas, and manufacturing. Wajax carries products from major brands like Hitachi and acts as a middleman connecting equipment makers with industrial businesses across Canada.

Wajax makes money by selling equipment outright, supplying replacement parts, and providing maintenance and repair services — that mix of product and service revenue helps smooth out swings in any one area. The company operates entirely within Canada, with a network of branches spread across most provinces, giving it broad geographic reach in a fragmented market. Its main risk is that its business is closely tied to the health of commodity-driven industries like oil, gas, and mining, which means a downturn in those sectors can quickly reduce customer spending on equipment and parts.
