Company History
In July 2004, Hydraulic Industries Corporation (HICO) was purchased by PowerNorth Holdings Company. HICO had a history of manufacturing off road tracked vehicles that began back in 1970 and was involved with brands such as Go-tract, LMC and Thiokol.
In May 2005, the HICO machines were rebranded as PowerTraxx. This was done to reflect a new dedication to quality and reliability. As of July 1, 2005, the company name changed to PowerTraxx Vehicles Inc. October 1, 2005 saw the opening of a new assembly facility in Northern Ontario.
The employees of PowerTraxx Vehicles Inc. have more than 60 years experience in the custom engineering, sales, and manufacture of off highway vehicles to meet specific requirements of each customer. Some of these employees also have many years of field experience as operators of tracked vehicles. With these recent changes and the strength of our people, PowerTraxx will be the leading supplier of tracked vehicles by providing value added products that meet customer specific requirements and support that exceeds their expectations.
