History
The company was founded in 1953 by Robert Schad, a German immigrant to Canada. Husky was initially a small machine shop with no ties to the plastics industry.
Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. was a publicly traded company from 1998 to 2007. Owning 44% of the company's stock, Robert Schad was the controlling shareholder. The company's common shares were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
On December 13, 2007, the Canadian private equity investment firm Onex Corporation completed a friendly buy-out of Husky.
Onex announced on November 17, 2009, that it planned to sell its stake in Husky in a new initial public offering though it did not sell during that time.
On December 17, 2010, it was reported that Onex had started talks to sell Husky to rival buyout firms.
Berkshire Partners LLC, the Boston based private equity firm, and OMERS Private Equity Inc., the private equity arm of the OMERS Worldwide group of companies, announced on June 30, 2011 the successful closing of their previously announced acquisition of Husky International Ltd.
