Bolair started in 1982 in Mississauga, Ontario by Leonard Haddow with several key employees and a full offering of sales and service of industrial pumping systems and accessories.
MANUFACTURER
Mid 1980’s
The main manufacturer represented was Aro (now Ingersol Rand Aro)
Leonard’s expertise and passion was two-component equipment, which resulted in his own designed and built “Bolaro-Cat” spray and dispense systems utilizing Aro pumps and air motors.
NEW PARTNER
Late 1980’s
In the late 1980’s, Bolair took on the Graco product line and became the recognized experts in two components coatings fields with both Aro and Graco pumping systems.
NEW PARTNER
Early 1990’s
In the early 1990’s Bolair began selling the Titan line of spray systems and pioneered the use of Titan spray machines modified for chemical grouting/water stop applications that are still widely used today.
Bolair’s first “Spray Rig” was built and sold for an epoxy pipeline project in the U.S.
NEW
2000’s
Significant changes occurred in 2003 with Gregory and Cameron Haddow taking over the business and putting a strong focus on the spray foam market with Graco’s new Fusion and Reactor offerings.
Significant and steady growth of the business occurred throughout the 2000’s with a strong presence across Canada.
NEW WAREHOUSE
2008 - 2009
With limited “room to move” in our 3600sq.ft Mississauga facility, a new shell was purchased in late 2008 and we officially moved into our 10,000sq.ft facility in Halton Hills in April 2009.
NEW
2009
In addition to the existing markets served, in 2009 Bolair started strong efforts in polyurethane dispensing applications with Graco’s line of HFR Proportioners.
EXPANSION
2009, 2013, 2015
Expansion to Western Canada occurred in late 2009 with a branch in Edmonton, Alberta housed in a 2400sq.ft facility including a full service department. Our Edmonton facility was increased to 4800sq.ft in 2013.
Further Western expansion occurred in May 2015 with the opening of a branch in Maple Ridge, BC which later moved to a larger facility in Langley, BC of 3,600 sq. ft. and a full service department
