CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Ingersoll Machine and Tool (IMT) has announced the acquisition of spring and suspension manufacturer Standen’s.

Calgary-based Standen’s produces leaf springs, tillage tools, light trailer suspensions and suspension hardware. It has more than 500 employees, three manufacturing facilities and five distribution centres and has been in business since the 1920s, IMT announced. It serves the transportation, defense and agricultural industries.

“The synergies between IMT and Standen’s are staggering,” IMT said in a release. “Both companies have strong connections to the transportation industry, IMT through Ingersoll Axles and their line of air suspensions and heavy duty trailer axles, and Standen’s through their light duty axles and spring suspensions. Together the two companies are able to offer their customers a complete solution for all of their transportation needs.”

Standen’s will operate under the transportation group of IMT and will be run by Dean Davenport, group president.

  • I have been a Standens customer for over 22 years and I have not had problems before. I have been receiving my parts, but no copies of invoices. I have made over a dozen phone calls to Edmonton to fax me copies of these invoices but to no avail. I need to know prices. They keep telling me they will get right on it but still no information has been faxed. I am getting very frustrated. I do not want to take my business elsewhere but if I don’t get the service, I might have to. Please contact me about this matter. Thank you. Harold Peters, Horseshoe Trailer Mfg.
