Häfele Canada Appoints Dave Stojni CEO
The industry leader joins the global lighting and hardware company to lead its next phase of growth in Canada.
Burlington, Ontario-based Häfele Canada has appointed Dave Stojni as CEO and Managing Director. Stojni joins the company from senior leadership roles at two of Canada’s building products leaders, bringing a career built on customer relationships, business transformation and multi-site operations.
“Häfele has a reputation for quality and innovation, and I am proud to be associated with a global leader in this industry,” said Stojni. “What drew me here is the combination of a remarkably diverse portfolio and the entrepreneurial spirit of this organization. Add a passionate team who genuinely care about their customers’ success, and it becomes an exciting opportunity to lead our future growth.”
Stojni steps into the role with three early priorities: refining the customer experience so that it exceeds expectations, increasing Häfele’s brand exposure across Canada, and maximizing operational efficiency in support of customer needs.
He sees considerable room for the business to grow its share of the Canadian market, backed by the scale and support of the global Häfele organization. Project business, lighting, and Service+ by Häfele, the company’s planning and customization offer, are areas he identifies as particularly strong opportunities.
“My approach is all about listening, to our customers, our teammates and our supplier partners,” said Stojni. “It is about taking the time to understand their business and solving problems together. Häfele’s products set a high standard, and the opportunity in front of us is to match the customer experience to the level of the product.”
Most recently, Stojni served as Vice President of Sales at SBP/Alexandria Moulding, where he led a customer-focused sales organization through a transformation that expanded the company’s offering well beyond mouldings. Prior to that, he was General Manager, Ontario at Doman Building Materials, where his responsibilities spanned multiple distribution sites and every functional area of the business.
