Blue Giant Equipment Corporation
- Founded in 1963 in Brampton, Ontario

- Acquisition Date: 2008
Blue Giant was founded as a manufacturer of dock levelers and hand pallet trucks. During the 1980s, the business expanded product lines to include stackers, dock lifts, scissor lifts, and its manufacturing plant increased to 100,000 sq.ft.
Kinperium invested over $10 million in 2018 to create a long term sustainable company and support the growth plans of Blue Giant. The result is a new state of the art 150,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility with advanced robotics and modular production. Currently Blue Giant is a global leader in developing, manufacturing, and distributing of loading dock systems and material handling equipment.
In September 2022, Blue Giant acquired controlling interest of Cormac Industrial, a prominent ergonomic lift solutions provider located in Mexico. This investment will support Blue Giant’s mission to transform the material handling industry.
